This was one of the pattern tests I did last week. I was sick all week, so not great timing on my part. I really liked this tunic, though, and the pattern has a ton of options.
From George + Ginger:
The RuLo Top and Dress is packed with amazing options! Choose from oversized dolman and regular crop, top, tunic and dress styles…and single tier bell, double tier bell, triple tier bell, full bell and basic sleeves! With added features like ties and shoulder ruffles, you can mix and match your favorites for endless possibilities! This is a must-have for all seasons!
I did the size 14 tween tunic with the triple bell sleeves.
I had to do a last minute run to get fabric, so the top and bottoms are from Joann’s. My normal store doesn’t open until 12 on Sundays, and I only had time to go inbetween the boy’s pitching clinic. I had to pick him up at 12:30, so that just wasn’t enough time (obviously!).
As there were so many options, I let her pick which one she wanted and she chose this one. I think it turned out pretty cute and classy. It’s not really a sweater knit…maybe a thin fleece. It’s soft and fuzzy but has a nice drape to it.
The pants are a space dye scuba knit from a modified pattern. They were too wide, so next time I am to go a bit thinner. She has knee surgery this week, so I knew she needed something other than leggings and tight pants.
There are tons of options in this pattern, so you are sure to see more of it. I like the dolman option, but have plans to do some hacking of it.
In the meantime, the pattern is on sale until Friday, January 26. Check it out…it has a wide size range and lots of different versions can be made. There are several different sleeves and two body styles. It’s definitely worth the cost of the pattern!
If you are interested in the knitted cowl we styled it with here, I have a tutorial on the materials I used to make it and how to add the leather edges. It is here.
Your daughter is such a great model! And that cowl is fabulous! I always said I wouldn’t take up knitting but since it’s just on a look, maybe it’s a hobby I can deal with! Ugh I’m so easily enabled!
That should be “loom”
Thank you! I really don’t consider loom knitting real knitting. You don’t have to count stitches and it is pretty easy to do them. You should give it a shot! Plus these big chunky scarves are so fun looking!
