Ayri Tunic
The Ayri Tunic is an incredibly versatile mid-thigh length sweater that draws inspiration from the chic styles favored by fashionable actresses in Los Angeles. This stunning knitwear piece is perfect for any occasion—wear it as a stylish tunic paired with your favorite jeans, or elongate it into a cozy sweaterdress that looks great with leggings and boots during cooler months. The design pattern includes detailed instructions for creating both elbow-length and full-length sleeves to suit your personal style.
Crafted seamlessly from the top down, the tunic features thoughtfully designed raglan sleeves, a flattering scoop neck, and waist shaping for a perfect fit that will accentuate your silhouette. Adding to its visual appeal, the tunic showcases simple stranded colorwork diamonds on the upper sleeves and neckband, introducing a delightful splash of color that enhances its overall aesthetic.
