Kitchen Garden Tunic

This Pattern is part of the Smith & Jones Knits collection Elements: 24 Hand Knit Designs Inspired by Nature and the Outdoors If you'd like a to order a hard copy visit here or ask your Rowan Stockist. Inspired by chives and lavender that can be found in my little herb garden, this cosy and practical tunic is knitted mainly in simple stocking stitch but has a couple of details which make for a more interesting knit: central inverted box pleat to the front and a generous patch pocket. If you've not knitted a pleat before, fear not as the pattern includes a photo tutorial.

Knitted with a DK weight yarn in a wool and cotton blend (shown in Rowan Wool Cotton DK) on 4mm needles, with 5 sizes available to fit bust from 32-34 up to 48-50.
