Knitting For Olive | Leaf Tunic Pattern & Yarn Pack
Effortless Style with a Leafy Twist
Add a touch of elegance to everyday wear with the Leaf Tunic – a relaxed-fit tunic featuring flowing lines and a graceful leaf border. Designed with comfort and movement in mind, the tunic showcases simple stockinette on the body and sleeves, balanced by a beautifully textured leaf motif along the hem.
Knit with 1 strand of Merino, the Leaf Tunic is worked sideways in one piece, using German short rows to shape the body and add fullness to the skirt. The construction creates a naturally oversized silhouette that softens and drapes beautifully after washing. The sleeves are knit from the top down in the round, while the neckline and cuffs are finished in delicate garter stitch. A small button at the back neckline completes the look.
Whether worn on its own or layered, this tunic blends modern minimalism with subtle detail – a perfect project for knitters who love relaxed shapes with beautiful finishes.
