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.”
