This is a stylish pattern for a relaxed boxy top called Peggy by Sewgirl. Peggy top is a round neck, loose fitting, hip length top with bust darts, side slits and a choice of sleeve lengths and variations.
You can make either a simple hem on the sleeves for a flared effect or insert the elastic channel to make a subtle gathered cuff. Peggy also has a flattering back neck loop and button opening.
