| Turning a casual cardigan into a Jacket... |
...by reducing or eliminating the rib bands
and adding a shawl collar you'll create a classic Jacket |
  You'll notice I don't really use traditional ribbed bands, that is K1, P1 rib which hug the garment to the hips, which is traditional on sweaters and cardigans and repeated on cuffs and collars.
Instead, I like to create Jacket styles to be garments you can wear out to dinner rather than something cozy for the weekend. So, lose the rib band and add a shawl collar and we have a classic styled blazer.

| Of course there's nothing like a cosy cardigan or sweater |
| Centre below Patchwork Cardigan (pattern A$35, kit A$225) with the round neck and triangle buttons, above as a Jacket. Left below Dublin Sweater (kit A$195) and right Blocks Jumper (pattern A$40, kit A$260) with a low and wide Cowl collar - the blocks have 4 collar options, as well as cardigan option. |
OVERSEAS BUYERS!
Prices above are in Australian dollars. At present an A$225.00 kit is approx US$170.00, EUR140.00 or ST124.00 (plus shpping) so it's a great time to buy as the Australian dollar is weak. |
