The Boyfriend Cardi

Now that it's really getting cold over here, this latest item I've knitted is just right. I've been wanting to have a cardi I can just throw on over anything when I go out, and this just fits the bill:)

Pattern I used is Jessica's Boyfriend Sweater by Celia McAdam Cahill from TKGA's Cast On Magazine
I did the pattern as is except for minor modifications like only doing one button/buttonhole.


My fave...pockets!

In progress:

blocking pieces before seaming

doing the pockets

seaming everything together

What a great cardigan! I love that it has pockets and as always I'm impressed by your talent and creativity. It must be so nice opening your wardrobe and seeing all the pieces you made in there!
You can never go wrong with a cardi as a topper in this weather. Your knitting talents never cease to amaze me chingu! I wore my "Emmy" hat over the weekend ;D
It looks so amazing! Love that the cardigan is a little bit longer. That makes it so much cuter! I have kind of been enjoying the cooler temperatures, to be honest. It is a nice change, for sure!

Wowzie very nice! I use to work for the publishers of Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple and would admire all the people who could knit. I was an assistant art director, funny none of the AD's knit.
