After publishing my first pattern, Wyatt Tee, I almost immediately had the idea for a tunic version. I wanted a bit more coverage with not just an extended length, but also along the back/neckline and arms. I know leggings, skinny jeans and even jeggings are popular right now. This design gives you coverage with the ease of a lightweight, drapey fabric from linen. The Wyatt Tunic could also easily be made with a wool, cotton or silk blend for other climates (linen is ideal for humid months aka year-round Florida).
