Knitting Pattern: Vaakaraita Tunic (by Hannemari Lehtonen)
Raglan increases, made with yarn overs, give the tunic an airy look. The interesting shape of the sleeves is achieved through short row shaping.
The pattern for the Vaakaraita tunic was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Vuokko knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Vuokko’s stunning, timeless prints.
