I don't know about you, but I'm usually WAY more likely to wear a nice cardi instead of a sweater so I can take it off if I get hot and for the layering effect. I had been wanting a striped cardi to wear with solids and came upon this sweater in the bottom of my closet! So I decided to re-fashion it into a cardigan, fixing the problem right then and there! So here's how I did it:
First, I cut the sweater right down the middle from the v to the bottom. (yes, one edge is already finished in this pic..I forgot to take one before)
Second, fold edge over by 1/2 inch, then another 1/2 inch creating a finished edge. Pin and sew a straight stitch all the way down, back stitching at each end for reinforced edges.
Either apply buttons or leave them off like me!
