The yoke and sleeves of this tunic are knitted sideways. The shaping is SUPER simple so all you must concentrate on is the cable and here’s a suprprise: it may look elaborate but it’s just a series of small crosses. There is a simple chart to follow that is fully explained. The torso is knitted vertically so the fit is standard for knits. A ribber is a necessity for this design. This project delivers a lot of visual drama for a modest amount of effort. The pattern is part of a book. The table of contents for the whole book is below.
