Westhampton’s drape and luxurious cotton sheen give this popover A-Line tunic a figure-skimming floatiness that is perfect for warm weather. A V-neck with center front seam and high-low back hem give it graceful drape and accentuate its breathability. Back hem ends at tunic length and front hem ends at mid-hip, with short-row shaping to create the curves. Siesta Key is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked down in the round. Westhampton by Valley Yarns is a delightful yarn made with 100% Pima cotton!
