The tunic has a vertical decorative panels along the side seams. Start with circular yoke (flat sideways in garter stitch, using short-rows for shaping and creating the print). Then pick up sts from the yoke, raise the back for a better fit and separate for the body & sleeves.

Finish hem and neckline with either I-cord. In addition, adult sizes №3-14 have instructions for horizontal bust darts (optional, but highly recommended for better fit).
