Asymmetrical Color Block Knit Tunic

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: medium-stretch knit fabric made of natural or blended fibers in three coordinating colors. IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE NOT INCLUDED. SEAM ALLOWANCES: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for blouson and sleeve – 1.5 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

CUTTER'S MUST

• From main fabric:
  • Back – 1 piece on fold
  • Front – 1 piece
  • Left lower front part - 1 piece
  • Sleeve – 2 pieces
• From main fabric 1:
  • Middle front part – 1 piece
• From main fabric 2:
  • Right lower front part – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
