Maker's Tunic - an 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. Maker’s Tunic is worked bottom-up in pieces and seamed with a set-in sleeve that is dropped over the shoulder. An optional running stitch in lightweight yarn is used to embellish the body and sleeves.

Construction

Local Meadow is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. Stitches are picked up for the neckline. The pattern includes modification notes for knitters who wish to work the body and sleeves in the round to the underarm.

Optional Bust Shaping

Optional instructions for adding short rows for bust shaping, in two sizes, give you your best fit.

Finished full bust: 31.75 (36.5, 39.75, 44, 48.25) (52, 55.75, 59.75) (63.75, 68, 71.75, 76) inches / 79.5 (91.5, 99.5, 110.5, 121) (130.5, 139.5, 149) (159.5, 170.5, 179.5, 190.5) cm

Maker’s Tunic is designed for bodies with breasts and is 0 (1, 0.5, 1, 1.25) (1.5, 1.25, 2.5) (2.75, 2.5, 3.25, 3.75) inch(es) / 0 (2.5, 1, 2.5, 3.5) (3.5, 4, 5.5) (7, 5.5, 8, 9.5) cm wider in the front than the back.

Your best fit

Choose the size closest to your actual upper chest measurement: 28 (32.75, 36, 39.25, 42.5) (45.75, 49, 52.25) (55.5, 58.75, 62, 65.25) inches / 70 (81.5, 89.5, 98, 106) (114, 122, 130.5) (138.5, 146.5, 154.5, 163) cm

Upper chest is measured above the full bust, at an angle close to diagonal beneath the underarms, and straight across the back.

Maker’s Tunic is designed to fit with approximately 4 inches / 10 cm of positive ease at the fullest part of your bust.

If you need additional room for the bust, as Jen does, working the optional short row shaping will give you the best fit in the shoulders and armholes, while still making room for your chest. Short rows add length to the front only of the garment, so that the hem does not rise in the front.

Jen is wearing size 5, Cup 1, with 3.5 inches / 9 cm of positive ease at the full bust and 2.25” / 5.5 cm of positive ease at the shoulder seam. Her upper chest is 41 inches / 102.5 cm.
