Swingtime

A gorgeous flared tunic! The main part of the body is worked in bands of “old shale” stitch, with easy shaping between. A super scalloped edge is formed on the bottom edge. Lacy sections create the wonderful flared shape - flattering and comfortable to wear. The yoke is worked in a mixed rib, contrasting beautifully with the main part & gives a lovely fit. The cap sleeves and neck borders are finished with a picot edging. For the main part you will need circular needles to hold the stitches until the number reduces. However, the knitting is worked straight in rows, not in the round. So you work back and forth in rows on the circular needle. For the upper section, & until sts reduce, you can then use straight 4 mm needles.
