The Princess Peplum top is a cute little tank top perfect for all of your summer adventures. It is a quick knit on 4 mm (US 6) and 5 mm (US 8) needles. You work the bust panel and bind off with an i-cord edge. Then picking up stitches at the cast on edge to start working the ruffle. The top is highly customizable, easily adjusted for length, and bust shaping recommendations.

Note: this pattern does not include specific bust shaping due to lack of testing. If you decide to work bust darts and you want to contribute to this pattern, message me for details.

This top is designed to be worn with 8 in / 20 cm of negative ease at the bust, with ample positive ease in the peplum portion.
