Serenity Tunic Pattern

Echoing the essence of summer, the Serenity Tunic is a celebration of lightweight elegance combined with casual comfort. The tunic features a lovely lace pattern around the yoke, a detail that is repeated along the bottom sides. Narrow bands of garter stitch finish the sleeve and hem edges, while a neat I-cord cast-off at the neckline emphasizes its polished finish. The design is knitted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.

Crafted in The Fibre Co.’s Luma, a blend of Merino, organic cotton, linen, and silk, the Serenity Tunic has a wonderfully soft and light feel, making it ideal for transitioning through seasons. Experience the joy of creating a piece that balances practical elegance with timeless tradition.
