“I opted to make the hooded version and added 7 inches before the side slits. Love the way the neckband hugs your neck (so cosy) and the hood is lovely and big. The sleeves are spectacular and the overall effect is stylish, easy to sew and wear – a truly satisfying sew!”

Super cute easy sew. My granddaughter loves hers, especially the pockets. Sizing chart is perfect and instructions very easy to follow.

A comfortable and cute cardigan. Use a fabric that has a nice drape! The sleeves are super cute with or without the pom poms (although my kids really like the pom poms)
Laura Stephen –
This cute cardi was a fun sew for my mini. I love the drama that the sleeves bring. I am looking forward to making one for myself.
