V-Neck Bicolor Tunic Pattern

The V-Neck Bicolor Tunic is a wonderful addition to anyone's summer wardrobe. Perfect for wearing alone on warming days, this tunic also works great as a layering accessory on cooler days. You can have all the fun of using two different colors without the hassle of stripes or carrying and wrapping your yarn. The tunic is knit in pieces and one color is used to make the entire back while the second color is used for the front. A great way to learn new techniques, you are introduced to shaping throughout the armholes and the neckline to create a v-neck on both the front and back - the V-Neck Bicolor Tunic is a great introduction to larger garments without the fuss and seaming required for a full sweater with sleeves.
