The Oversized Honeycomb Tunic has a loose- fitting body, drop shoulders, high rolled neck and sleeves with fold-back cuffs. The hem, sleeves and neck are finished using rib stitch. The Tunic is worked top down, starting at the top of the roll neck, working increases at drop shoulder seams. The big advantage of working top down is that you can easily adjust the length of the sleeves and body.
