Notes: This light summery tunic is worked flat in one piece. The body is cast on at the hem and worked back and forth to the armhole. The fronts and back are then divided and the back worked flat before dividing for left and right shoulders and neck shaping. The left and right fronts are worked separately with V-neck shaping and the
shoulders are joined with a 3-needle cast off. Stitches are then picked up around the front edges and the panel is worked in one piece before joining down the centre with a 3-needle cast off before working the neck in the round. Stitches are then picked up and worked in the round for the armhole edging and hem.
