Tuesday Tunic
Experience the bliss of lightweight comfort with our striped, set-in-sleeve tunic dress knitting pattern. This delightful project, crafted with the luxurious Drops Sky yarn, is perfect for knitters seeking a cozy yet stylish addition to their wardrobe. Made from a sumptuous blend of baby alpaca and merino wool, the unique chained construction of Drops Sky offers an incredibly soft feel, reminiscent of wearing a soft, fluffy cloud. This tunic dress not only promises comfort but also makes for an enjoyable knitting experience, thanks to its simple yet elegant design.
When it comes to materials, you'll need Drops Sky in colorways col. 08 (main color, MC) and col. 03 (contrasting color, CC). Each ball contains 207 yards (1.8 oz) of this luxurious yarn, ensuring that you won’t have to invest much in your new favorite knit. Estimated yarn requirements for the main color are approximately 700/775/850/920/1020/1090/1100/1150 yards across different sizes, while the contrasting color requires about 375/400/450/490/515/555/575/600 yards. This makes it an affordable project without compromising on style or comfort.
To create this stunning tunic dress, you will need 4 mm 24” circular needles and 4 mm double-pointed needles (or adjust to the size that meets the gauge). Achieving the gauge of 22 stitches x 31 rows in stockinette is essential to ensure your final piece fits perfectly. The tunic is designed with a generous bust measurement range of 32/34/36/38/40/42/44/46” featuring a positive ease of 2 inches, making it a flattering option for various body types.
Don't forget about the other essential materials: a sewing needle, two stitch markers, and a stitch holder to seamlessly complete this project. With this striped tunic dress pattern, you’ll not only enjoy the process of knitting but also create a timeless piece that you can wear for years to come.
