I found this traditional sweater in a thrift shop and just had own it. Particularly because it is a straight up, classic model, that has not been redesigned, updated or made in neon colours. Just the regular, oldfashioned model.

It was made for a large man, not a small woman,

A lot of threads in the body of the sweater had sprung. I mended it with a darning needle and matching yarn.

Wow, it would even be worth to do this tunika afresh/new if no 'matching husband and/or ( ;-) ) jumper is volunteering
Great job! I think the sweater looks much better as a tunic. I love the pattern of the sweater.
