A couple of weeks ago, I spent two days going through all of my patterns in order to try to bring some organization to it all. In the midst of doing all that, I found some patterns that I had forgotten about and some I thought I had lost or gotten rid of. This particular pattern is one that I had completely forgotten about. I had made a version of this years ago using black lace and it became one of my favorites.
The pattern is for different cardigans and a top (basically like a twin set). This time around, I made View D without the trim at the edges. I like that it’s simple an easy to make, but with classic styling. I also like that I didn’t have to deal with putting buttons or closures for this one.
This is a nice sweater to have in the summer when it’s hot outside, but cold inside. It seems to give just enough coverage so as to not overheat or be uncomfortable indoors.
This particular pattern is also different in that it is collarless. All of my other patterns that I’ve used have a collar, so this is just a different look and option. That might be something to think about if you like to go on Ebay to look for out-of-print patterns.
If you have this one, it’s certainly worth thinking about making. It doesn’t take long to make and could probably be constructed in about 2 hours.
