I am so diggin’ my rad reversed cardi…wanna make one for yourself? Then let’s get goin’…
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 on my blog 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…
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 & yer done!
pop your cardi on backwards & enjoy your kewl 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!
