Peafowl Body is a simple looking suit with practical shoulder closure. It can be made in two versions - with or without ruffles, and both are included in the pattern.

In the pattern, techniques such as double knitting and short rows are used, which is why it is not recommended for beginners (unless you try to understand the techniques before purchase).
