Knitting For Olive | Christmas Morning Tunic (Adult) Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Christmas Morning Tunic is a beautifully festive piece from the Knitting for Olive 2025 Christmas collection. Playful little presents wrapped with delicate i-cord bows decorate the hem, adding a charming touch that feels joyful, modern, and delightfully wearable.
This adult tunic is designed with a round yoke, a gentle A-line silhouette, and straight sleeves that strike the perfect balance between comfort and refinement. The body and sleeves are finished with neat folded edges, while the neckline features a sweet i-cord edging that ties into a bow at the back—a subtle statement detail that elevates the whole look.
Worked top down with one strand of Merino and one strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together, the tunic has a soft, airy feel with a hint of luxurious drape. Whether styled casually or dressed up for holiday gatherings, it brings a touch of festive magic to your wardrobe in the most elegant way.

Notes: You start with the i-cord neckband and ties before continuing with the yoke, working back and forth at first to create the keyhole opening. Afterwards, you continue in the round. The neck opening and body are shaped with German short rows. The presents are charted only and worked using the Fair Isle technique and finished with i-cord ties as a separate step.
