My Hugs and Kisses Tunic is a great garment to crochet for either winter or summer.  I used Caron Cakes in Red Velvet, which contain 20% wool, so this top will be worn to keep me warm.  But, if you are looking for a short sleeve summer tunic, substitute the new Caron Cotton Cakes for the regular cakes for a cool tunic to add to your wardrobe!  Please not that if you choose to use the Caron Cotton Cakes, you will need to double the amount of cakes needed (so you will need 4 - 8 cakes, depending on the size you are crocheting).
The pattern is written for a ladies 2X, with notes to change to any size XS - 5X.
