Tunic is knit mostly in the round from the bottom up; raglan sleeves are then knit and joined to main body to finish. Worked in St st, with a 3” lace panel at bottom edge and cuffs. There is minimal shaping and minimal seaming.

Model is 5’6” tall and wearing XS size knit with mulberry silk lace yarn (pictured with negative ease). If knitting with silk yarn, consider knitting a smaller size to compensate for inelasticity of yarn.
