Description

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!

Material Notes

Green sweatshirt fabric and large white snaps.

    I love this! I live in cardigans too, so I think I should try and make this pattern – especially because men’s cardigans can be so comfy :)

    Too cute! Did you take in the sides at all or just cut straight from the pattern?

      I cut straight from the pattern and I would say it fits pretty well. The bottom band is a bit snug, but I did use the sweatshirt material to make the band which isn’t too stretchy. Hope this helps! Have fun sewing!
