386 Layering Tunic

Everyone loves this flattering tunic.  It is worked in two identical pieces for the front and back.  It is worked in single rib with a two inch band around the armhole.  The stitch pattern and shaping will intrigue a novice but will hold the interest of an experienced knitter.

Originally written for Fleece Artist 2/8 BFL, this is a wonderfully warm and comfortable tunic for cooler weather.  But it makes a beautiful summer tunic when knit in cotton and linen.
