Erica Patberg’s Peplum and Pleat Jacket combines seamstress fit and knitterly details to translate a traditional jacket into a gorgeous piece of knitting.

Inspired by the romanticism of post-war fashions, it combines a flared peplum and princess-line shaping for a finely tailored knitted jacket with feminity to spare. Peekaboo contrast panels and trim turned cuffs, notched lapels, and knitted-in facings make the Peplum and Pleat Jacket as well made as it is beautiful.
