Harper Cardigan #2

 Earlier this year I posted about my sewing spree which included a grey Harper cardigan which I absolutely love. So I made a second one, which I also love but isn't as practical. 

Looks practical, sort of dressier, good for work, right? Well...I wear too many patterned tops!!

On both cardigans I followed an idea I saw in a FB group, to lower the pockets and sew into the bottom and front bands. I love it! No worrying about lining it up straight and the band helps somewhat to prevent saggy pocket syndrome. More so on this one than the grey one, which stretches out if you even just look at it.

The fabric is a stable knit, with an interesting texture on the front and has a built in lining which is stitched to the outer fabric where the three little holes are, to create the texture. I used it years ago for a dress for Megan and she really liked it. 

I really like this cardigan, but it's not getting worn much! Why can't I wear solids?!
