I saw this tutorial online and though it is nice enough I wanted the cardigan to have a neckline. After looking at some line drawings, I figured out how to make this happen. Here are the pattern pieces: I took my normal front knit shirt pattern block and went out 16 inches. This proves to […]
So…you know how you have clothes that have mysterious shrunk in the washer? Oh, just me? Well, you could give them to charity (always a good idea) or save money on buying clothes for your youngster and change them up (also a good idea)!
