For distinctive tailored style, knit a sleek coat with a flared peplum and handkerchief hem. Twisted rib and ladder motifs create long, flattering lines on the fronts and center back. A twisted-rib cable with a self facing folded inside and sewn down provides a decorative and stable edge for the snap closures, and a swing-coat style collar in twisted rib makes a clean and structural finish. The peplum, a simple rectangle with I-cord selvedges, is worked from stitches picked up after garment assembly. Double ribbing delineates the transition in fabric, and the sculptural curve of the lower front pieces causes the peplum to flare over the hips and hang in folded points.

Construction

The garment is worked in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. The peplum is picked up and worked after garment assembly. The neckband is worked separately and sewn on.
