Ruched Magic
Photo caption “Make a sweater fit more like an elegant blouse. This draped design is flattering, eye-catching, and unique - yet quite simple to execute! There’s nothing to it but increases and decreases placed along construction lines. The knit ribbon yarn is dressy without being too glitzy.”

Short row shaping is employed in knitting the front piece.
