NATSU linen tunic is designed with the idea that the form should follow the function.
It is an asymmetric design; one part has full length (74 cm) with an inbuilt pocket, the other part has a length just over the waist.

The long part has a 3/4 length sleeve, the shorter part has a short sleeve.
The tunic has a rather wide boatneck, that is meant to drop over one shoulder.
The used linen yarn, BC LINO gives the fabric a loose, bit open surface and is, therefore, cool in wearing; perfect for summer days!

For this NATSU tunic, you start knitting the textured stripes of front and back. Then stitches will be picked up alongside and knitted in form, till the edges of the sleeves.

The tunic is designed to fit all sizes. It is deliberately knitted with enough ease to make it having a loose fit. So comfy on warm days!

It has a inbuilt pocket. So you don’t have to worry, where to leave your phone, keys or wallet when having fun, without carrying a bag.

BC Lino is a pure and natural linen yarn, getting softer, evertime you wear it. It is available in 34 colours! Your choice is amongst it!
You ‘ll need only 10 skeins to knit this gorgeous flattering design.

The pattern of this NATSU tunic is designed by me. It is a printable booklet in PDF.
It contains a lot of pictures; if you want to save paper & ink, only print the even pages.
