I pretty much live my life in cardigans so I decided to try making the Andrew pattern. It is a men’s pattern, but the smallest size fits me well. This cardigan only took me an evening to make and the sweatshirt material makes it super comfortable. The white snaps are a great stand out detail, plus they were much easier to apply than buttons. I’m also thinking about adding pockets to the front. I would definitely encourage anyone thinking about using this pattern to go ahead and do it!
