Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I just finished this cardigan. Took the instructions from “burda easy h/w 2011”, jacket 9 and made some small modifications. It’s shorter than the Burda one. I did not like those very wide sleeves, so I made them a little slimmer. They are still wide enough. Since I wanted to add some contrast to the fabric I added a mustard coloured tape.
I have been wondering which kind of buttons to add, but this question has been answered today when I was shopping and found this mustard yellow belt, means: NO BUTTONS :-)
It’s really comfy and I’m sure I’ll wear it a lot. Hope you like it too.

I like it, too, especially the combination of colors. I would like to see a picture of the whole cardigan.

Here you are :-) My sister took a very quick pic outside, you don’t see the whole cardi but the length. Hope it’s ok.

This is so special – the floral knit, the colour combination – fabulous!
