The StoneCutter Collection is a quartet of patterns drawing inspiration from the combination of smooth, natural greys found in stones, and the sharp, angular lines displayed when those stones are broken into fragments.

The Briolette Tunic is a lightweight tunic with an A-line shape. Featuring a diagonal cable pattern across the chest which adds texture and gentle smocking. The armholes and neckline are finished with an I-cord bind-off that creates a smooth finish and blends in with the diagonal cables. Knit with Knit One Crochet Too’s fabulous Batiste yarn, the perfect mix of fibers, to create a tunic with structure, drape and a soft halo. This tunic would look fantastic in any color, with a wide range of ways to style it, sure to become a wardrobe staple!
