Named for a very popular resort on Isle of Palms in Charleston, SC, Wild Dunes is an elevated thigh-length tunic or casual tee that pairs just as well over breezy linen pants for a beachside brunch or over a swimsuit for those bright beach days.

Wild Dunes is knit from the top down starting at the shoulders. Stitches are increased to create the V-neck and crew neck. Once the armhole depth has been worked, the pieces are joined for working in the round and A-line shaping is added for a relaxed fit. Once the desired length is reached, the front and back are separated to work the deep side slits. The piece is finished with an applied I-cord around the armholes, neck openings, and side slits.

Sample is 44” Tunic; model is 35”
