Mirabel is knit from the top down in the round. I started with a provisional cast on to give me more choice, how to finish the neckline.
I used my Rowan, Felted Tweed leftovers. And Leah, my dear DIL ( Yarnstylist), gave me quite a few more colors for the project. I used the darker colors for the background and the brighter ones for the pattern, consistently. This gives the tunic a muted even look, which I wanted. This was a fun knit and went fairly fast. The Felted Tweed is a little itchy, but I manage.
I decided to turn the tunic into a long jacket. I cut it open, added button bands and lengthened the sleeves. I like it much better like that. I just have to find the right buttons.
I did not knit the side panels.
