The Maker's Forest Tunic is a unique seamless knit design that combines creativity with technique. This innovative seamless construction begins by casting on provisionally at the back armhole opening.

To assist with this intricate process, the pattern includes a detailed schematic that will help you visualize the journey and achieve the perfect fit.

The tunic's skirt features a flared design, elegantly shaped by gradually increasing the needle size throughout the lace pattern. This technique not only adds depth and visual interest but also showcases your knitting skills.
