Notes: The tunic is knitted in pieces and seamed, from bottom up. The neckband is worked in the round with the stockinette stitch part as a double band that is seamed to the wrong side. A circular needle is used at the bottom of the body due to the stitch number and when working the tucks, as it is easier.

Adjust to the waist by working the plissé pattern for 1 or 2 more repeats (2.5 or 5 cm/1 or 2”) or reducing the stockinette stitch part before the armhole. Or opposite if you want the tuck lower down.
