susandennisActually, this was a rare purposeful project. I needed an oversized cardigan of some weight that I could easily slip on and off as needed. And that's exactly what I got!
It started out as two of these. Simple hexagons.
Each when folded, created a front, half a back and a sleeve.
You just keep keepin' on until everything is the length you want. I did taper the sleeves a bit just because. And added the pockets.
I am totally making this again but next time in a much smaller yarn. This fat cotton yarn is lively and fun to look at but I hate working with heavy yarn like this and cotton just does not have enough give (stretch) to work comfortably. But, I do love this new piece. A lot.
