Notes

Truly wearable! 着れる!!

I was going to knit Drops’s 118-5 tunic in “Lin” with shirred pattern on yoke using this yarn. Meanwhile, Middlefield Pullover tempted me a lot; the book cover of New England Knits caught my eye often.
This is why I made it A-line tunic, influenced by the other pattern.
