The Tuscan Sun Tunic crochet pattern is a simple side to side workup project that creates a beautiful, textured, v-neck garment!
Pattern Inspiration
This beautiful crochet tunic was inspired by the latest trends and fashions that I am loving! I don’t know about you, but I love wearing long tunics with leggings and boots in the fall and winter.
I wanted to crochet a tunic that was long enough to wear with leggings. I also wanted it to be a v-neck with 3/4 length sleeves.
I decided on the texture of the garment by trying out different stitches combined, and decided on this combo.

Pattern Details
The Yarn
The tunic is made with DK (#3) weight yarn for a cozy, but lightweight feel! I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn in the color mustard for my sample sweater, pictured above.
I really love this yarn! It is a great DK (#3) yarn that comes in so many beautiful colors! This yarn is 100% acrylic and can be machine washed and dried.

This tunic is long so you can wear it with leggings or jeans! I love to wear mine with my favorite leggings and boots!
It can be made shorter, and worn as a regular length sweater, by making the two panels shorter in length. You can also lengthen the sleeves to full length if you desire.
This pattern comes with instructions for children’s sizes 2-10 and women’s sizes XS-2X!

I love your work — and I love this tunic! I have never made clothing but would like to try this. Can the sleeves be made more fitted? And, if so, would it just be as simple as less stitches for the sleeves ? Thanks!
Yes, when you sew it up, make the armholes smaller and then work less stitches in the sleeves.
