Earth Stripe Tunic




Earth Stripe Tunic, by Kaffe Fassett from Rowan 42, in Kid Silk Haze, many colors. I modified the pattern to make the sweater in the round, so I wouldn't have to match the stripes on the front and back. I also shorted the length and abbreviated the ribbing. I fiddled with the collar a bit. I finally went with rolling in over in thirds and tacking it down. After I was done, when I tried it on, the sleeves were huge, almost batwing-like. They got into everything. I ran them in on my sewing machine and trimmed off about half the width. They are still big. I should have looked at the picture more closely!
