KNITTING PATTERN -- Pandorea Tunic / Dress - P180
This quick and simple little top (which could easily be made longer into a dress), is ideal for those Summer days. Quick and easy to knit, with enough detail to keep the knit enjoyable, only seaming is the join at the shoulders. The top could then be worn with a little shirt under for the Spring, and a warmer top under for colder Autumn/Winter months. Great little pop over top.
