Longer length sweaters are the style these days. I designed this easy-fit tunic so it can be worn with the leggings that are so popular today. If you add some inches at the bottom, it can be a jumper. It’s an A-shape: wide at the bottom and narrowing gradually to the standard width at the bust. It is knit in the round with only a short seam at the shoulders. The stripes are done using the jogless join method and the changing widths are eye catching. See the article in this issue for weaving in tails with a jogless jog (link). It has a simple rolled edge at the V-neck and armholes.
