Pattern Details

The Cabled Peplum Tee crochet pattern is an intermediate difficulty pattern. You will need to know basic crochet cable techniques such as front post double crochet and triple crochet. It is a top down project with sleeves added at the end. The length of both the sleeves and the bottom of the tee are easily customizable.

This pattern comes with instructions for women’s sizes XS to 2X. Model is wearing a size medium.

The top has 2-3″ of positive ease.

the Yarn

For the Cabled Peplum Tee I used Mary Maxim Sunrise yarn. This yarn is a DK (#3) weight yarn. It is a 100% premium micro acrylic yarn. It is very soft and has a nice sheen to it. I really enjoyed working with this yarn!
