This is a flattering tunic designed to fit almost any size. The instructions give exact measurements for size M/L, along with custom sizing instructions. I haven’t tested it on kids’ sizes yet, but I’m very sure it would work just as well for them. No counting stitches, only using measurements.

I used one full cake of Twister, plus about 30g of solid Twister for the trim. Plus sizes might need up to a cake and a half.

The pattern is suited to intermediate skill level, but very confident beginners could give it a go too. I’ve included a lot of photos, as well as video links to help along the way. I’m also available to help!

It seems like a fairly simple pattern, but I’ve actually used some unusual stitches to get a nicer texture. I also created my own bobble border for the sleeves because I couldn’t find one that I liked. There’s a video link for that.

If you’d love to make this but you can’t afford it, please drop me a line and I’ll do my best to help. And to the ones who support us designers by buying the patterns, a HUGE and warm THANK YOU!!

The pattern is thouroughly checked and tested, but please let me know if there’s anything unclear or incorrect.

Big hugs
Christel
