Leah's Elegant Summer Knitting

leahtunic1.jpg

Leah's breezy summer style is elegant and graceful.  This new design is delicately executed to highlight beautiful fingering weight cotton, silk, or bamboo yarn. She recommends Alchemy Silken Straw or Habu Textiles White Bamboo, Cotton Gima, or Root Sizing Silk for just the right texture.

Wear this tunic on its own or as Leah does, layered over a pretty lace-trimmed slip.  Your favorite necklace or dangly earrings are the perfect companions for the draping neckline.

The free pattern is in our Leah Tunic Project Journal
