Lucine Tunic Crochet Pattern Download

Description

This berry pattern, inspired by Spring’s first buds, is cheery on those gray days that can precede the blooming of spring. The Lucine Tunic is shaped as simply as the shell for which it is named: the skirt blooms outward by using increasingly larger crochet hooks. This lacy tunic helps transition your dresses from spring to summer with style.
