As much as I love my TNT patterns, I thought it'd be fun to try some new patterns. In particular I wanted a cardigan drafted to allow it to be buttoned up the front.

For this test garment I used a remnant of sweater knit which had been languishing in the stash for some time. Originally I'd thought to make a little knit top to wear with neutral trousers, but I prefer to have some colour near my face. There was only enough to cut the front, back, sleeves and pockets so I used the leftovers from a different cardigan to cut the front bands. As the sleeves were a little short I also drafted and cut some cuffs in the same fabric.
I cut the size 20 as usual in Prima patterns, and perhaps the style is supposed to be this oversized, but heck it was very wide and short.
If I were to make this again I'd go down two sizes and add a hem band as well, but as I decided I don't like the printed sweater knit it wasn't worth me altering.
Apparently this is just the sort of look Gen Z like so I've added a label and will be donating it to a local charity shop which is happy to take handmade clothing.
