The Layla Tunic crochet pattern is a beautiful tunic that is great for spring or fall. The length is long enough to wear with leggings and boots, and the sleeves come all the way to the elbow. I love a good tunic and leggings outfit in the fall!
If you’re like me and you love to wear leggings year round, this tunic is for you! The Layla Tunic is a lightweight, spring crochet tunic featuring a beautiful herringbone double crochet stitch, elbow length sleeves, and a lacy trim!
The Layla Tunic crochet pattern is worked from the top down. It has approximately 6″ of positive ease at the hips and 2″ at the bust.
The pattern comes with written instructions for women’s sizes XS-2X. It also includes a stitch dictionary with step-by-step instructions on how to create the stitches, as well as a link to a video stitch tutorial.
Pattern is in US terms.
Pattern is worked from the top down with sleeves added at the end.
There is approximately 6” of positive ease to the tunic at the hips and 2” at the bust.
Starting chain does not count as first stitch unless stated otherwise.
