Moonshadow Top pattern PDF
Moonshadow is a light, ample tunic worked in the round from the top down.
The sleeve detail and wide lace panel give it romantic flair, while the light, see-through fabric makes it just cheeky enough to anchor it in the 21st century.

Note on measurements
Please note the fibre composition of the yarn used will affect the finished size, making the garment grow significantly when blocking.
This is why round counts rather than measurements are given throughout the instructions.
Make sure you knit and block a swatch before starting your project to accommodate for correct tension.
