Maker's Tunic
Maker's Tunic
Layer-able pullover knitting pattern
Plaid skirts. Linen dresses. A-line tunics and a stray needle pinning up your hair. We’re makers, and it shows. The Maker’s Tunic is designed to layer with the pieces you reach for daily. The one that makes you feel like yourself.
This pullover has a relaxed but impeccable fit, featuring an A-line silhouette and a falling to the hip. The playful running stitch embellishment and enclosed trim are an homage to quilt jackets, and create the kind of bespoke details that pull an outfit together and result in a deeply heirloom piece.
