Asymmetrical Color Block Knit Tunic

Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a stylish knit tunic, featuring an eye-catching asymmetrical color block design and a unique overlapping front hem.

When To Wear

This versatile knit tunic is perfect for adding a chic touch to your everyday wardrobe, suitable for:

  • Casual & Everyday: Its comfortable knit fabric and tunic length make it ideal for daily wear.
  • Work & Office: The refined color-blocked design elevates it for a professional yet comfortable office look.
  • Transitional Styling: A perfect layering piece for changing seasons, offering both warmth and style.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A comfortable tunic length, designed to gently skim the body for a relaxed yet polished fit.

Neckline: A wide, softly rounded boat neckline offers a flattering and elegant frame for the décolletage.

Closure: A convenient pullover style, eliminating the need for zippers or buttons.

Sleeves: Practical three-quarter length, set-in sleeves provide comfort and versatility.

Front Design: Features an eye-catching asymmetrical color block construction with multiple panels, creating a dynamic and modern aesthetic.

Hem: The front hem is elegantly shaped with a unique overlapping detail, contrasting with a straight back hem.

Length: Designed as a tunic, extending to the low hip for ample coverage.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires careful handling of knit fabrics, precise alignment of color block panels, and finishing with bias binding.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose medium-stretch knit fabrics that offer comfort and drape, ideally in three coordinating colors:

  • Knit fabrics made from natural or blended fibers with moderate stretch

Additional Supplies

  • Bias tape, 4cm wide, length equal to neckline length + 4cm (or fabric to create your own bias tape)

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.
