Tunics are really fantastic travel pieces. They’re so versatile and can be worn over jeans, leggings or bare legs. The tank style of this top lends itself to being layered over long sleeves in the winter and bare arms in the Spring and Summer. The chevrons around the waistband have a slightly native feel to them and they provide a starting point for the rest of the tunic as this piece is knit first. Smooth stockinette shows off the colors of Malabrigo Rios the best and the lightly textured top adds another dimension to the whole piece.

The tunic is modifiable in length and the fabric has a generous amount of give so any of the 4 sizes should fit most adult women! The geometric detail in the waistband is where it’s all started, with stitches picked up for the top and skirt later.
