Mommy's Tunic

This top has a unique construction. The cable band, which sits below the bust, is worked first, completed and blocked. Then stitches are picked up around the top of the band and the Bust/Yoke areas are worked bottom up. Next, stitches are picked up around the bottom of the band and worked top-down.

With an A-line torso, a fitted bodice and cabled band around the empire waist, this tunic flatters your curves. The lace edge of the tunic portion floats lightly and comfortably over the hips. Similarly, the lace-edged sleeves are wide and flatter upper arms.

Choose which size to knit based on your ribcage circumference measurement just below the bust. The pattern as written allows for a 3-4 inch increase in bust size over ribcage measurement. For instructions on modifying the bust fit, please see the Bust Adjustments section on last page.
