Description

I am so diggin’ my rad reversed cardi…wanna make one for yourself? Then let’s get goin’…

Instructions

  1. Small dscf7715

    Snag a loose fitting cardigan, oval doily and, of course, a pair of coordinating knee socks

  2. Small dscf7715b

    *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…

  3. Small dscf7720

    Once your sleeves have been fancied-up center the doily on the back of the cardigan just under the neckline & pin in place

  4. Small dscf7722

    Stitch it on

  5. Small dscf7723

    Chop out the cardi fabric behind the center of the doily (if desired)

  6. Small dscf7724

    Zig zag around the edge to prevent fraying & yer done!

  7. Small 0

    pop your cardi on backwards & enjoy your kewl new top!

  8. Small dscf7734

    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…

  9. Small dscf7736

    a pair of fancy schmancy gift bags!
