Summertime tunic Review by Carol Merriman

I just finished making this for my daughter and liked how it turned out, EXEPT the ribbed waist did not cinch in at all, even with knitting the ribbing with a cicular needle two sizes smaller. Therefore it did not blouse over as the pictures shows. My solution was to thread thin elastic through the ribbing at 3 points, top, middle and bottom. The white elastic showed through so I dyed the elastic to match the color. A lot of extra work, but I wanted it to look right.
