Glacier tunic is worked top down and is completely seamless, even the invisible pockets are worked without any seam and in 1 piece with the body.
The sleeves and shoulders are worked using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/people/SusieM).

The central panel is assymetrically growing while working the increases in front and back that shape the A-line.
Choose a yarn with lots of drape: cotton-linen blends for a cool summer tunic or wool and silk blend for an autumny feel

This is an intermediate to difficult project due to the many things that are going on at the same time, especially at the start (top): increases to form the shoulder and later on the sleevecaps and the A-line increases.

Available for size: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, finished measurements chest: 32, 34, 37.5, 41.5, 44.5, 50“ (81, 86, 96, 105, 113, 127 cm)
