June Lake is going to fast be-come your go to top for Spring. This versatile tunic can be worn over shorts, jeans, pants or skirts. Using just two skeins of fingering weight yarn, it is a fun, quick knit. Perfect for showcasing those special skeins. This body flatter-ing tunic has gradual A-line shaping with a sophisticated boat-neck. The garment is knit from the bottom up, starting with two textured border bands that are joined to work in the round. It is then separated for the armholes where tapered decreases create an elegant silhouette. The neck is finally finished off with an i-cord bind off.

Born in the Indian sub-continent and educated in Asia, Europe and the United States, I currently live in California. My work is informed by all these cultures. Passionate about bringing together elements of classic design from a variety of sources to create something new and original, I bring a modern sensibility and love of construction to the art of knitting. In the past three years, I have published a full wardrobe of garments from fingerless mittens, cowls, hats, scarves, shawls, sweaters, and more. I conduct knitting workshops seasonally, regularly contribute promotional designs for some of California’s favorite local yarn shops, and have collaborated with several independent dyers across the country.
