Notes

I love everything about this garment. The design, the wool, the colour… I could wear it every day. It is so flattering, comfy and warm!

I chose 2,5 mm needles for the neckline ribbing, but other than that I followed the pattern making only some minor changes (I added 4 rows after the raglan increases before dividing for the body, then I knitted approx. 5 additional cm before starting with the increases for the pocket pleats. Finally I knitted quite a few additional rows after the pockets, as I wanted the tunic to be longer).The pattern is very well written.

Knitting this tunic/dress has been a real pleasure, although I usually hate knitting an entire piece in stockinette stitch. It has been worth the effort!

I am so in love with it that I am already planning to knit at least another two in other colours. Besides, my daughter has asked me to knit one for her as well, so I see myself knitting Still Light Tunics during the whole winter :)
