Cute cute cardigan with lace.

mmm another easy sweater-cardigan recon!
just cut down the centre, hemmed the raw edges. and then sewed the lace on, with little pleats around the neckline.
started with this...


and became this...




commments?

I totally love it. I wnt to do one. How many yards of lace did you use?

[spicecarrie]

Ooooh, very pretty! What a great idea!

[camilaustral]

that's a great idea!!!!
i have a lot of shrunken sweaters that are too small to wear as sweaters, but maybe not as cardigans
what did you use for closure?
or you didn't use any....
i love it

That is so pretty!  I love lace, I need to go hunt down a sweater just so I can try this out!

[cheshiresgrin]

It's totally almost steampunk... all you need is a good cameo closure at the neck, and you're rocking the age of iron.  I love it!

Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm not quite sure how many yards it took....I bought this bundle of lace for 50p (about $1). But I think it was about one and a half. I know it took like, 76 inches to get round all of the pleats...

There's not a closure at all at the moment... I made it for my sister (she bought it from me for £3.00 [$6.00] ) and she didn't want any closures on it. But I did something like this before with a green cardi, and less lace and just sewed on some buttons, and put button loops on. I was too lazy for buttonholes
