Notes

The top is the usual Takhi Paris tunic pattern that I’ve done at least 40 times by now, modified down to this size; the skirt I decided to do travelling dcs: 2dcs with 2ch spaces: and dc over 1 dc, dc into chain space, 2 chain. The variegation provided the almost wave-like pattern combined with the travelling dcs. 10 rows before the end I switched to the size 4mm hook since I wanted a little more give without an actual increase in stitches.

The tunic pattern is actually a simply filet bar and lacet pattern - maybe that’s why I’ve loved it so much! Amazing how the exact same pattern can look so different in solid vs variegated thread/yarn.

Took about 10 hours total.
