With big pockets and generous shaping in the hip and bust, this tunic can be thrown over anything for an easy wear-everywhere sort of garment. Back darts are used to prevent bagging and bunching with such a generous size in the hip to the bust, giving the piece gentle waist shaping.

Errata note: Correction to page 5, inserted between hem finishing and neckline finishing sections: join shoulders: Place Back and Front sts for Right Shoulder onto a spare circ with RS together. Beg at Right Shoulder edge, and using three-needle bind off, BO all Right Shoulder sts. Rep for Left Shoulder.
