Color Block Tunic

Color Block Tunic

Longer, tunic length sweaters are just so easy to wear.  They look good with leggings, long skirts or just about anything that is comfy. 

The dramatic color blocks provide a slimming profile and the lace waistband adds a feminine accent. The dual-colored cables on the sleeves twist thecolors into eye-catching stripes. I wanted a longer design that would be easy to wear and fun to knit. Despite the longer length, the majority of the garment is worked in quick stockinette stitch, but it incorporates enough elements of change to hold the knitter’s interest.
