About this pattern

Introducing a luxurious Posner and Posner cover-up in a shimmering velvet knit. With this pattern, you’ll master gathers and plackets, and for correctly placed buttonholes, simply flip the template for the sleeve, cuff and placket to create right and left sets. Remember, for the neatest edges, use an overlocker or turn under a narrow hem.
