Ingonish
Introducing a beautifully designed relaxed fit tunic, expertly knit from the top down in one seamless piece. This innovative knitting pattern eliminates the need for short rows and stitch picking, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. Featuring modified raglan shaping, this tunic provides a flattering fit through the shoulders and drapes elegantly over the body.
The front panel and edges of the tunic showcase delightful variations of Barbara Walker’s Jacquard stitch pattern. Achieving this unique texture requires simply slipping a couple of stitches with the working yarn held in front, making it an easy yet impressive technique. Furthermore, the slightly tighter row gauge of the front panel subtly creates an elliptical hemline, adding an artistic touch to this versatile garment. This pattern is designed to be worn with 1-4 inches of positive ease, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed fit. For reference, the tunic is modeled with 4 inches of ease for that perfect laid-back look.
