Animal Print Knit Top

 

I've adapted the free Vera Knit Top pattern to fit onto a scrap of leftover knit fabric.

For my version I switched to a round neckline and had to reduce the width of the sleeves quite a bit to fit onto my available fabric.

This is my first piece for the Pattern Review Endless Wardrobe Contest during October 2025.

Let's see how many garments I can make during the time frame!

Kinder Cardigans with buttons

Using the leftover fabric from the joggers, I managed to cut out two cardigans. 

The pattern is The Kinder Cardigan from Wendy Ward's Book "A Beginner’s Guide To Sewing With Knitted Fabrics"

I interfaced the lower section of the front bands and added buttons and buttonholes. I also made the cuffs a little smaller and ran a slight gathering stitch round the bottom of the sleeves to help ease them onto the cuffs.

With the buttons and the tighter cuffs I hope these versions will be a little cosier to wear.

We can add the brown cardigan into the Paisley SWAP.

1 jacket, 1 fleece, 1 cardigan, 1 shirt, 8 knit tops, 1 pair jeans, 1 pair joggers, 1 skirt.

The animal print pieces could be worn with the plain items, but not with the paisley (IMO).
