Ribbed short-sleeved tunic with very open stitch pattern. Knit bottom up in one piece to armholes. Slip stitch edging on front bands. Shaping is accomplished through negative ease and by changing needle sizes. Two inch beaded edge along bottom.

Brioche rib is my absolute favorite pattern to knit. The stitches flow together so smoothly, and the resulting fabric has a beautiful complexity. I created this tunic to showcase the structure of the brioche rib. Laceweight yarn and large needles give it lots of space to breathe.
