Alexia from Lexi Made shares a tutorial at The Sewing Rabbit showing how to make this military-inspired cardigan. The wide lapels and metal buttons take their cue from military uniforms. Bias trim finishes the front edges and emphasizes the lines of the lapel. She used the Aster Cardigan by Willow and Co, but this will work with any basic cardigan pattern. You can make it from a sweater knit, as she shows, or a sweatshirt or other heavier weight knit. The style works for all ages – make one for your daughter, or for yourself.
