The Khloe Tunic is here!

I'm very proud to announce the Khloe Tunic pattern has been released!

It's for sale on Etsy, and Ravelry, and you can buy it here, as well.

I am very excited for this one! It's a very sweet little project, crochets up fast, and is great for all seasons.

Handspun Khloe Tunic

I am in love with how lovely this turned out! I found a beautiful skein of Handspun from The Crazy Hat Lady on Hyencart's Spot's Corner. It's gorgeous! I was planning to make myself a scarf out of it, but then I was the overjoyed recipient of a beautiful Drop Stitch scarf from Sarah of SEWsational Sarah in a swap.

So that left me in a quandary. What do I make with this fabulous yarn?

Well, I'm writing a pattern for a new tunic that is intended for all year wear. So, I thought why not crochet it up into a tunic and see what happens?

I love it! I can't wait to try handspun again, and I will definitely make something for myself, next time!

The Khloe Tunic!

I have wanted to make Khloe a spring dress for a while, now, so I just plunged in and started. I decided to write the pattern as I went, because I knew it would be very cute on smaller sizes, as well, and she is a 3T, so I began with that and worked my way backward. I hope to have the pattern open for testers next week.

It has a fitted bodice, that is meant to fit close to the body. Then a little texture in the waist, followed by a flared out skirt, and a ruffled hem.

The string straps allow it to be adjustable, and are also very easy to make! The buttons in the back allow for easier dressing, going over the head.

I also like that she can wear it now, with a long sleeved shirt underneath, but in the spring, she can wear it alone, or over shorts.

This particular one, alas, was too short. I ran out of colorway (Creatively Ewe's Chocolate Covered Strawberries), so I ended it at "tunic" length, and listed it for sale on Crunchy Congo. But now I know how much yarn I need, and I have already begun Khloe's Tunic number 2!
