Materials: ( I used )

3.5 mm crochet hook

Sport weight yarn: orange ( 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 100 gr or 382 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

Special stitches used:

2dc-V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.

This crochet Summer air tunic pattern fits size L ( chest size 36 to 38 inches )

Skill level: Intermediate

Gauge: 10 double crochet stitches x 4 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
