The best part about a knit tunic is that it looks great over tops or can be worn on its own. It is a perfect addition to your wardrobe for years to come.
The Holey Cable tunic is worked beginning at the hem upwards. This simple design is knitted using cable and yo stitch to create the holey cable pattern. Pattern includes one size - M/L and Tunic and Vest lengths.

• 1 Circular needle 3.50 mm x 80 cm (US 4).

ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS AFTER BLOCKING
Flat width (just below armhole) - 53 cm / 21 ins.
Tunic Length (from top of the shoulder) - 88 cm / 34 ¾ ins.
Vest Length (from top of the shoulder) - 43 cm / 17 ins.
NB After washing and blocking length extends approx. 4.00 cm / 1 ½ ins.

GAUGE (Tension): 28 sts and 30 rows = 10 cm (4 ins), measured over holey cable pattern, (garment being washed and blocked), using 3.5 mm (US 4) needle.
NB Needle size is only a guide - if you get too many stitches for 10 cm, take a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches for 10 cm, take a smaller needle
size. It’s very important to check your gauge (tension) before starting as working to the wrong tension will mean your garment won’t be size shown.
