Named for a violet butterfly that flourishes throughout the summer months, the Common Blue Tunic is worked from the bottom up in three pieces and seamed at the shoulders and sides. The back panels are seamed from the garter-stitch band to the neckline, leaving a stylish split at the lower back that will have you feeling like a butterfly in no time.
