I once read a book that said, we should sometimes look at the ordinary things from a totally different perspective. Here I was, holding the most wonderful pile of yarn on my hands and gave it a thought.

What would happen if I turn a cardigan 90 degrees around?

I tried it and ended up with a “not-quite-a-cardigan”. A garment that makes a great showcase for your favorite buttons, keeping you warm and cozy at the same time.
Being worked in one piece from top down, it’s also easy to make. The pockets are worked seamlessly into body and short row shaping on neck gives it a comfortable fit. The body is slightly A-shaped.
