Construction:

The Prairie Ruffle Sweater combines fitted styling with seamless construction. The raglan design is worked from the top down in the round. Decreases are worked at the waist and sleeves for shaping. The ruffles are knitted directly off of the body. A partially twisted ribbing adds continuity and interest to the collar, hem, cuffs, and ruffles. The sleeve cuffs feature button bands for non-functional decorative buttons.
