This feminine tunic is neatly fitted at the bust and flares out from the waist, the shaping of which is beautifully emphasised by a textured pattern. “The simple elongated stitches are worked in a repeat of shell stitch and garter stitch to give an interesting openwork texture,” explains the designer. The pattern has been designed to have a slight negative ease on the bust, to give a good fit; the yarn used offers a reasonable amount of stretchiness.This is Exquisite 4ply by West Yorkshire Spinners, a wool-silk blend which comes in eight righ snf saturated shades.
