Feminine Tunic

The first sweater I ever designed, this tunic builds upon your knitting skills and creates a flattering feminine shape.  The hems of the body and sleeves have a delicate lace edging, and the sleeves are bell shaped.  The waist shaping accentuates your curves, while short row shaping at the bust creates detailing.  Yarnover edging at the neckline allows the neckline to be drawn in with a ribbon.
