Making Butterick 6368

*Updated July 2026.

This is one of those patterns I’ve seen around social media that I thought I’d try. It’s B6368 See & Sew very easy pattern for a cardigan, top (tunic) and pants. So, here is my take on making Butterick 6368 (B6368) . And by the way, this pattern is for knits.

First I made the cardigan. I love this one! It fits well and is very easy and quick to put together. I didn’t make any changes to the pattern for this. If you’re unfamiliar to sewing with knit fabric here is some information you might find useful on the Mood Fabrics blog.

For projects like this with this type of fabric, I recommend using a new needle. Either a universal n in size 12 or 14, or a needle specifically made for knit/stretch fabric.

This is very comfortable and can be worn as a casual or dressy cardigan.

The top, which they refer to as a tunic was a different story. On the pattern envelop the top looks like it should be long enough to belt. That was not my experience with this.

It’s a nice top, but not what I would consider a tunic. It fits well and I used the same fabric I used for the cardigan for the sleeves. I did find that the sleeves were short on this top. Even taking it out of the envelope, they looked short. So, I added a cuff to make this wrist-length.

Overall, I’m happy with the results of both pieces. I used fabric I bought at JoAnn’s for the cardigan. It’s a stretch velvet-type material (found in the knit section). Here is another project I made with a stretch velvet. I would say that if you are under 5’5″ tall, you might want to shorten the cardigan unless you want it long. It’s funny that the cardigan looks shorter on the pattern envelope, while the tunic looks longer, but whatever…

Depending on fabric choice, you can get a great looking outfit with a pattern that only costs about $2.95. I often don’t bother to even look at these. Not because there’s anything wrong with them, but they really aren’t on my mind. So, don’t ignore the cheaper, easy patterns because you could be missing out on something really great.
