Bog standard: a UK term to mean ordinary, no frills, no embellishments.

A very simple tunic for all the family. Make it any length with almost any DK yarn. Make it in cotton for beach wear, or wool for warmth. Make the panels the same length or different. Because the shape is so simple, it is the perfect foil for hand-dyed yarns and for using up bits of leftover yarn. Mine was made with Rainbow Fusions' Advent Calendar 2020.

The tunic can be made any length, and is truly unisex!
