Very close-fitting jacket features ribbed, flounced peplum; swag ruffle that begins as ribbed front band and then extends below ribbed waistband to center back; three-quarter bell sleeves; and hidden snap closures.

Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2009: “Mari Lynn patrick shaped the flounced peplum of this wrap sweater, knit in Koigu Wool Designs’ ‘Kersti,’ with decreases. An extra flounce of ribbing starts as a front band, then swags below the ribbed waistband to the center back. The three-quarter bell sleeves flare prettily, and the flattering bodice closes with hidden snaps.”

“Very close-fitting jacked with rib flounced skirt, separate swag ruffle and hidden snap closures.”
