Mountain Goat Gathered Tunic

Knitted garments that cover your lower half always make me a bit nervous.  But the blend of mohair and wool is perfect for this tunic.  The mohair keeps it from stretching out too much when you sit in it.  The clean simple lines of this tunic are quite slimming.  In addition, the slight gathering above the bust line gives the tunic some visual interest.    This tunic is simple to knit with little shaping.  I also think this tunic would be beautiful for a summer garment in a cotton yarn.
