Abbreviations

Ch = Chain

Dc = Double crochet

Pattern Notes

I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2 then dc into same stitch (counted as first dc). In the pattern you’ll see that I simply state dc into first stitch for every first dc of each row, so just choose your best technique.

This crochet tunic pattern is worked in rows and from top down. The tunic is made by 2 identical pieces, then seam to join shoulder and body lines.
