Toad Hollow Tunic

The story of Rumpelstiltskin is one fraught with mystery and suspense. That little devil of a creature thinks he’s got the high hand on the poor miller’s daughter, but she outwits him in the end. And don’t we all love a smart “shrewd and clever” young lass? Yes we do!

When the Toad Hollow ladies asked me to design something in this gorgeous gold colorway I was intrigued and took my inspiration from the miller’s daughter — clothed in a long skirt but with an over-dress. (see gallery photo.) I love wearing a good tunic, especially with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans and this design fits the bill. A drapey knit in DK weight yarn, this tunic should fit the bill for your fall, winter or spring wearing adventures.

Decorative Fisherman Rib stitches accent the tunic body (front & back) and side seams. This is a checklist pattern; each row is written out for ease of execution (which also means the pattern is longer than usual).
