Ninti Tunic
Introducing our sassy tunic pattern, designed for knitters eager to explore various techniques, including stripes, stranded knitting (often known as Fair Isle), and steeking. This fun and fashionable tunic is perfect for those who want to enhance their knitting skills while creating a stylish garment. The easy-to-follow striping and Fair Isle patterns are worked seamlessly in the round, with the unused colors cleverly carried along the inside of the sweater, making it an enjoyable project for knitters at any level.
When you reach the armhole shaping, you will have a choice: to steek or not to steek! I've included comprehensive instructions for both methods, ensuring that you feel confident in your decision. Plus, to ease any concerns about the steeking process, I’ve prepared an informative video tutorial that breaks down the steps, making it a breeze to master this technique!
