Notes

This tunic has waited many years that I take it to my needles.

March 12th: I started to knit the hem.
March 18th: I started to knit cable panel.
March 22th: Aargh! I finished cable panel. When I try tunic on I noticed that cable pane is far too long. So I ripped it off and started over.
March 25th:I finished cable panel and now it’s length is perfect.
March 28th: I finished back of the tunic.
March 29th: I finished front of the tunic. Only sleeves left.
April 2nd: I finished first sleeve and started second.
April 7th: I finshed second sleeve and started to knit collar.
April 9th: Tunic is ready.

Modifications:

  • In cable panel I knitted 2 hem’s stitches together with panels last stitch in right side. Every 8th time I knitted only one stitch together wit hems last stitch.
  • For the sleeve I casted on 90 stitches and knitted it in the round. Cable panel I knitted in the sleeve just like in the body.

I’m not happy with sleeves. They don’t fit proberly. Otherwise I like this tunic. It’s better than I thought.
I used 492 yarn to this.
