Burda Style For people who sew

To sew the cardigan, start with the shoulder seams. They have to be stitched to the same point you marked when drafting the collar (on the front shoulder, this point is now 1,5 cm ‘inside’). Make a small cut in the seam allowence at the point where front shoulder meets the collar, cutting from the corner in the seam allowence to the stitched shoulder line. Then, stitch the collar to the back neckline (all of this is similar to the construction of a sawl collar). Sew the center back seam (of body and collar, which are now lined up together). Narrowly hem the outside edge (or finish it in another way like using a serger’s rolled hem, or applying ready made satin bias tape, depending on the kind of fabric you’re using)
