Sirdar Unplugged Tassel Tunic in Stories DK
What Is Being Made
The Sirdar Unplugged Tassel Tunic (Design No. 10558) is a crochet dress designed for summer wear. This tunic features a relaxed, comfortable fit available in sizes UK 6-28 (US 2-24), with finished chest measurements ranging from 81/86 cm (32/34") to 132/137 cm (52/54"). The garment has a full length of approximately 87-89 cm (34¼-35"), making it suitable as a tunic or short dress. The design showcases a distinctive striped pattern created through the use of multiple coordinating yarn colors from the Sirdar Stories DK range.
Crochet Techniques Used
This beginner-friendly crochet pattern employs several key construction techniques to create the finished tunic:
- Bottom-Up Construction: The garment is worked from the bottom edge upward, allowing you to try on the piece as you progress and adjust the length if needed.
- Worked Flat: The tunic is crocheted in flat pieces rather than in the round, making it more manageable for beginners and easier to maintain consistent tension.
- Seamed Assembly: Individual flat pieces are crocheted separately and then seamed together to form the complete garment, a traditional approach that provides structure and durability.
- Striped Colorwork: The pattern incorporates horizontal stripes using multiple yarn colors (Yarns A through G), creating visual interest and allowing crafters to experiment with different color combinations from the Stories DK collection.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch used throughout this tunic is the half treble, which creates a lightweight, open fabric ideal for summer garments. The pattern specifies a tension of 17 stitches over 10 cm (4") when working the half treble pattern. This stitch choice, combined with the cotton-rich yarn blend, produces a fabric that is breathable, comfortable, and maintains its shape well despite the relaxed construction method.
Materials Required
This design calls for Sirdar Stories Double Knitting (DK) yarn, a cotton-rich acrylic blend specifically formulated to create lighter, more comfortable garments perfect for warm weather. The yarn requirements vary by size, with the smallest size requiring 9 balls of Yarn A and 1 ball each of Yarns B through G, while the largest size requires 14 balls of Yarn A and 1 ball each of the remaining colors. A 3.50 mm crochet hook (UK size 9 / US size E/4) is used throughout the pattern.
Recommended Color Options
Sirdar provides four beautiful colorway suggestions for this tunic, allowing crafters to personalize their finished piece:
- Glamping (Shade 832)
- Sky Bar (Shade 837)
- Glow Sticks (Shade 827)
- Free Spirit (Shade 825)
