I am so digging my rad reversed cardigan!
Wanna make one for yourself?
Then let’s get to it:
Snag a loose fitting cardigan, oval doily and, of course, a pair of coordinating knee socks.
*as I’m a confirmed knee-socks-as-sleeves addict & have written of their marvelousness numerous times I shall forego a lengthy step-by-step & simply leave this handy how-to collage for those who may be new to the fabulous socks-as-sleeves technique:
I love love love them!
Once your sleeves have been fancied-up center the doily on the back of the cardigan just under the neckline & pin in place.
Stitch it on.
Chop out the cardi fabric behind the center of the doily (if desired).
Zig zag around the edge to prevent fraying & your done!
pop your cardi on backwards & enjoy your cool new top!
hmmm…but what to do with the chopped cardi sleeves…?
Stitch up the raw end then hand sew a loose running stitch around the top & tie a couple of beads to the thread ends to create:
A pair of fancy schmancy gift bags!
