The Ginko Leaf Tunic

Redesigned for Fiddlesticks Knitting Silken Merino, this graceful tunic has a pretty lace and cable design which suggests overlapping ginko tree leaves.

The tunic is knit in the round from the bottom edge to the armholes. Then the front and back are worked separately and the shoulder seams are joined. The sleeves are knit back and forth from the cuff and sewn into the armholes. Charts for all sizes take the guesswork out of shaping in lace. Sample is shown in Size 1 and colour Moss. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
