This pattern; it's been in my stash for a while and I keep picking it up and putting it back. Until...
I was in North Dakota, of all places! A gal there was wearing a super cute gray sweater and it looked like she had a half shirt on underneath that was plaid. It also had plaid elbow patches. Of course I thought to myself, I can do that!
Both fabrics were in my stash. The pattern was also in my stash.
This pattern whips up easily. It is well-drafted and goes together without any issues. I added the plaid at the hemline and the elbows.
View C has an overlay as the design and at first I thought I could just use that view, but duh, this is made in a knit and my plaid is a woven.
I cut the plaid in the shape and length I wanted, hemmed it, and attached to the hemline.
For the elbow patches, I played with the placement and size and sewed them on prior to constructing the sleeve.
Super easy, right?
Thanks for reading!
