Hand-knitted tunic looks like thisa small dress or an elongated sweater. Almost all tunic styles are flared at the bottom. The length varies, but usually it covers the hip line. A tunic is perfect for women who hide their figure flaws (full sides, wide hips, belly).
The initial task is correct and tastefulchoose a tunic style that will become the highlight of your wardrobe. Tunics are beautiful and individual, only in a tunic created with your own hands, you will feel feminine and confident. Tunics knitted on knitting needles can be both warm (for winter) and openwork (for hot summer). The tunic you created to your taste will serve you for more than one season, the main thing is to choose the right yarn.
To knit a tunic model with an elastic band andFor a pearl pattern we will need: 300 grams of mohair, preferably thin, with the addition of lurex thread. Needles will be No. 3.5; 4; 4.5. We will create the “pearl pattern” as follows: one front loop, one back loop, shift the pattern by one loop through one row. A two by two elastic band is made as follows: knit two loops with front loops and two loops with back loops.
Knitting density is ten by ten cm.you will get 24 loops for 28 rows. Let's start with the back part: cast on one hundred loops on #4 knitting needles and knit them with a two by two elastic band for thirty centimeters. Continue knitting further on #4.5 knitting needles according to the pearl pattern. At a height of forty centimeters, from the beginning of knitting, mark the armholes on both sides. Close forty-eight loops twice for the shoulders and thirty-eight loops for the neck at a distance of seventy centimeters.
For the front part of the product, cast on knitting needles No. 4one hundred loops and knit them with a two by two elastic band for thirty centimeters. Knit a pearl pattern, not forgetting to add on each side, in all second rows ten times a loop on knitting needles No. 4.5. Somewhere at a distance of forty centimeters from the beginning of knitting, on both sides, mark the armholes. At a distance of fifty centimeters, close the middle fourteen loops.
When the total height reaches 70 cm, close it.forty-eight loops on each side, for two shoulders. Along the edge of the neckline, we pick up all the loops on knitting needles No. 3.5 and knit them with a two by two elastic band. Every five centimeters, we change the numbers of knitting needles, from a smaller to a larger size (to create a collar of the required shape). At a height of twenty centimeters, we close all the loops. We perform the left shoulder seam and the seam on the collar (considering that the collar is turned back). That's all the steps. Your elegant knitted tunic is ready!
