Textured Tunic with Side Buttons Pattern

by Stefanie Japel

Directions for this project inFitted Knits, shown below. This tunic is as simple to knit as the most basic tee. It is knit flat until the neckline is joined, and the yoke is then continued in the round. The texture at the bust, a simple repeat alternating sets of knit and purl, add visual interest, drawing the eye up along the torso and giving the illusion of a taller frame. Pair with jeans or leggings for a more flirty look. Shown in 100% Superwash Merino wool DK weight which we Double Standed to achieve required gauge. Bare.

Notions: (7) 3/4" buttons
