About the sweater

Perfect Peplum Sweater is fitted sweater with peplum edge at the bottom. It is knitted top-down in one piece using raglan construction in stockinette stitch. First, the rib is worked, then the neckline shaping back and forth using german short rows, then the rest of raglan increases. The stitches are separated for sleeves and body. Peplum edge starts on the waist and is finished with a delicate i-cord bind off. For more fitted waist you can pull a thin elastic on a waist edge.
