When I found this sweater knit fabric it was in the remnant bin of a local fabric store. It was a little over 2 yards and the price was right, so of course I had to have it (I need no reason at all to buy fabric). Immediately I knew based on the weight that it would be some sort of sweater or outer garment.
When I first came across this tutorial on Pinterest, I knew I had to make this and immediately my sweater knit fabric popped in my head. I literally couldn't wait to make it. The Tutorial is from Kelli of Truebias.com: DIY Cocoon Cardigan. She did wonderful job explaining how to make this quick and easy cardigan, and I plan to make many more. Here she is:

The tutorial was very easy to understand, and everything went together quickly. I am not exactly happy with the the gathering at the top/back, but I can definitely live with it. I may pick it apart later if I feel inclined too, but for now I am happy with it.
Happy Sewing!
