Inspired by the British coastline and knitted in stunning British wool, this seamless design can be knitted either as a short-sleeved, fitted tunic or as a long-sleeved pullover – whichever you prefer.
This pattern is knitted from the bottom up in the round until the armholes, where it splits for the button placket and is worked flat to the neckline. Sleeves are then worked from the armhole down to the cuff. This is a great project for knitters who don’t like seams as you’ll only need to get out a sewing needle to weave in your ends and sew on your buttons.
The pattern file also includes instructions for the tunic version of the garment, with waist shaping and short sleeves.
