#81 Peplum Waist Top Down Cardigan PDF Knitting
Pattern
This
is a strictly feminine cardigan with lovely peplum
waist and lots of pretty detailing. It's another great
top-down design to minimize seaming and allow you
the option of easily adjusting sleeve and body length.
The collar, front, and peplum shaping inserts feature
a simple mock cable rib (done using basic lace technique,
no cable needles!). The sleeves are shown 3/4 length
with a bold open lace medallion design and subtly
flared shaping.
The waist is further accented with a wide ribbon
held in place with mock cable belt loops that appear
to extend beautifully from each "gored"
peplum shaping insert. The back features the same
peplum styling and belt loops for a great-looking
cardigan whether the wearer is coming or going!
(If you're not a fan of belts, the cardigan also
looks great if you leave off the belt and belt loops.)
Knit in a soft, organically grown dyed cotton from
Blue Sky Alpacas, available in beautifully vibrant
colors, like the Mediterranean blue shown here.
