Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: self-striping yarn ( 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 50 gr or 207 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 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
Special stitch used:
V stitch: ( dc, ch 1, dc ) into same stitch or space
2dc – V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space
This crochet Sunset tunic pattern fits size L ( chest size: 36 to 38 inches )
Skill level: Intermediate
Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 5 rows = approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
