The simplest things are often the most beautiful. Case in point- this classic boiled wool sweater, with its clean lines and raw edges.
Cut generously with a with drop shoulder, extra-long sleeves to turn back or keep your fingers warm, side splits for extra ease at the hip if you need it and just a nice detail if you don’t, a wide roll collar that doesn’t irritate the neck and, of course, the obligatory pocket.
It’s available in standard or long length in sizes 6-32. The fit is loose but not oversized. If you like a neater fit, just go down a size or two and if you prefer a more slouchy look, choose a size or two larger than your usual size. The pack includes a garment measurement chart to help you make an informed choice.

I haven't made the tunic yet, I'm still looking for fabric that is suitable, however the pattern looks easy with lots of instruction

I love this Loden sweater/top - made it in a nice green boiled wool. Made the collar an inch wider and the proportions were better. Wish there was an A0 version for a fee; struggled to print it for some reason.
