"After watching many SS25 fashion shows I was obsessed with Lace Ribs. And turns out that, if you work one Purl stitch from the one color Brioche, it does look like a perfect lace rib. One thing I love about knitting is how we can work stripes as we wish - as a Fashion designer, I remember how difficult it was to find different and custom made striped fabrics.
This design is an easy way to start lace knitting, since it’s an easy pattern to follow. It is knitted bottom up in two pieces and sewed on the sides and shoulders."

The Tunic is fit to the body measurements. Keep in mind that since it is a lace and a rayon yarn, it does give in as you wear it, so, even though you are knitting a fit size, it will wear out.
