Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.

GAUGE:

2 V-sts + 6 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Front and Back of Tunic are worked as rectangles. The side edges of Front and Back are sewed together to form side seams and cowl neck, leaving openings for armholes. The shoulders are shaped by seaming diagonal lines, through both thicknesses, from the top of the armhole openings and working toward the center of the piece.
