Dusky Pink Cable Knit Cardigan

 

I'm really pleased with this dusty pink cable knit cardigan. I bought the fabric in Boyes last year sometime but it is available at Pound Fabrics (for those in the UK)


I used Wendy Ward's Kinder cardigan, with a few changes. I did a high round back alteration, made the cuffs a bit smaller and gathered the sleeves into them, changed the pockets to my own design and added buttons and buttonholes down the front.

What I like most about this pattern is the sleeves which are roomy (good for having sleeves underneath) but also come from the shoulder. With my tighter cuffs and button front it becomes quite cosy!

The last three items all used the same overlocker thread but do vary a bit in colour.

(excuse the rumpled shirt, I worn and washed it, but not yet ironed it!)


And finally my totals so far
