Sleeves (optional)
If you decide not to add sleeves, you can at
this point just finish the edges.
Tip: Use the selvage edge as a hem. It has
a natural finished edge and drapes well on
the front of the cardigan.
For the remaining edges I used a 3- thread
rolled hem. Because it’s knit, you don’t
HAVE to hem all the edges but for me I like
the overall finished look.
Draft a sleeve pattern to add.
I just created a slope that measured the
arm opening and the length of the sleeve
for a long sleeve.
Serge the sleeve seam right sides together.
Pin the sleeve to the bodice opening (the oval you cut). Because there are no side seams on the
bodice make sure you place the sleeve in evenly.
