Dawn Tunic
A loose fitting tunic with generous width in a highly textured pattern.
The pattern uses 4 different charts, all provided as separate PDFs so they can be printed in large view.
The garment is knitted from bottom up in two pieces - Front and Back, with stitches cast on at underarm to create the dolman sleeves.
A very quick knit, and fun for trying out stitch patterns.
