PATTERN INFORMATION

Inspired by 1960s “mod” wallpaper, the Terrapin Tunic offers a funky-fun way to glam up your knitting wardrobe this winter. Knit in the round from the bottom up, the body of this split-neck tunic uses stranded colorwork to create a bold, modern design. The ¾-length drop sleeves are cast on at the underarm (to keep the colorwork uninterrupted) and are then seamed using mattress stitch. The cuffs and hems are picked up holding MC double and worked flat with a textured stitch that complements the colorwork. The collar is picked up and worked in the round and uses increases and decreases in specific locations to accentuate the corners and shaping of the neckline. Perfect for home, the office, or a night out, this tunic is a great choice for edgy knitters who love to show off their work!
