4mm & 3mm crochet hooks
Sport weight yarn: light salmon ( about 250 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 256 yds per skein )

Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique 🙂
This crochet pattern is done by 2 identical front and back pieces, seam to join shoulder and body lines.
Special stitches used:
2dc – V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
This crochet Sunny lace tunic pattern fits size XL ( chest size: 40 to 42 inches ).
( Suggestion: 4 skeins of yarn indicated )
Skill level: Easy
Gauge: 9 double crochet stitches x 4 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
