A former favourite sweater, that lay forgotten and unloved in the back of the closet...
I cut of the turtleneck and cut the sweater open to make an asymmetric cardigan. I (hand)sewed the button placket from the turtleneck to the edges of the now-cardigan as closure.
(I had to re-check: It is not longer at the left side, it is just me having a wierd pose on the picture).

I had a gray sweater almost exactly like this that I deconstructed into boot cuffs, 2 scarves, and I may still have some left! I love how you remade this...I'm such a sucker for button details ;) Great job!
I have a thing for buttons too. It was the main reason that I wanted to save this sweater from the great unknown (aka. the thrift shop).
Well aren't you just the busy bee with all your funky sweater refashions? !?

Love the detail....very cool.
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful refashion. I have 3 Vneck cashmere sweaters that are Small. Post baby I'm a Large now. Do you have any tips on how I can either refashion and enlarge them or combine 2 or all 3 to male a loose body sweater? What do I do with the sleeves that are tight?
