Start crafting summer dresses and summer tunics now: you’ll be finished by the start of summer

Dear Community,
Download these gorgeous patterns for summer —for summer dresses and tunics —and get started right away. Winter won’t last forever, and your wardrobe is ready for some new additions. 

@Sellers,
you can feature 2–3 relevant patterns here—they must not have been promoted in the forum in the past 3 weeks, must have at least 25 sales each, and must have a CR of at least 3%. Don’t forget to include links, images, and other details. 

We may still have winter, but in our handmade projects we can happily start getting ready for spring and summer already. That increases the anticipation tremendously. Here are two suggestions from me for you.

I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina

1. White Short Poncho

It consists of two rectangles that we join together. The many cables are real eye-catchers. The special thing about the short poncho is that your arms are free. That means you can wear it, for example, at the PC while working. Quickly thrown on, it warms our upper body while still giving our hands/forearms the freedom of movement they need.  I especially like it in white because it goes with so many things. But of course you can also knit it in any other favorite color.





2. Figure-Flattering Summer Poncho

A figure-flatterer that’s hard to beat! It goes with casual everyday clothing like jeans and a shirt, but also with an elegant evening dress.

Thanks to the clever cut and elegant drape, it is always in motion when worn and conceals little problem areas. The fine openwork pattern, which is actually very easy to knit using just 2 pattern rows, offers subtle glimpses of our skin. You’ll love the result!

When crocheting my “Sunset” tunic, I used summery colors,
ranging from lime to turmeric to cognac and Malaga.

Because the color gradient already provides enough variety,
I kept the top fairly simple.
Only the raglan slopes were given a leaf pattern as an eye-catcher.
This pattern is repeated later in the “skirt.”

With a 3-ply cake (1500 m), you’ll get a short-sleeved garment.
With 2 additional small 300 m cakes, you can crochet long sleeves.
3/4 sleeves are also possible. Just the way you like it.

This amount of yarn is enough for dress sizes up to 48/50.
However, that also depends on
how fitted or loose you want your tunic to be and how loosely or tightly you crochet.

Since I crocheted the tunic as a raglan from the top down (RVO),
the size can be adjusted very easily.
In the pattern you’ll get helpful tips on this,
so you can crochet the tunic for any ready-to-wear size.
