The Posie Peplum Sweater is a charming raglan knit with whimsical details. Easy to dress up or down, this is one of those sweaters that can move with you through the years – it has a lot of giveso is perfect for comfy days, and even maternity wear. The easy top-down construction of the yoke is followed by a lacey peplum challenge. This lace pattern reminded me of a lavender nosegay tied with ribbon – thus posie peplum! I’ve knitted this up in an alpaca cotton blend, but it would also be perfect in a summery cotton, bamboo, or even linen* for a crisp spring day.

I hope you enjoy making your own Posie Peplum Sweater!

• If knitting this pattern with linen, consider knitting the neckline in the flat, with a button or ribbon closure for ease of wear!
