Peplum for machine knitting

Peplum

A short flounce or an extension of a garment covering the hips.

A peplum can be gathered, shaped or straight, adding length to a sweater.
Often these panels are added to lengthen a sideways knit sweater.
The Knit it Now Split Personality pattern is an example of a peplum. It is a sleeveless sweater that is designed to be knit in 2 stitch patterns with no math.
