Pepito is a lovely and versatile wrap sweater, delicately knit in fingering-weight yarn, Finch. Its design embodies a graceful flared silhouette complemented by the seamless incorporation of raglan shaping, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit. The wrap’s appeal is further enhanced by the captivating interplay of contrasting facing peeking through the openwork stitch on both the hem and cuffs. A contrasting color icord completes the look by gracefully encircling the sweater.
