I had been wanting to use the Anna Square design for a wearable for a while and it was Theresa who came up with the idea of making a cardigan in the Anna Square design, but when I was making my cardigan when I got to the stage where I had to create the sleeves, I just thought: ‘Well would this not look nice as a waistcoat?’ I have to say I absolutely adore this garment. It is wonderful to wear over my dress like this because you don’t have to worry about the sleeves and it does give you a little bit more of a layer and it looks fabulous don’t you agree? So thank you Theresa for the idea and I’m really happy with my sleeveless cardigan so here we are: a pattern for a waistcoat. (but little cap sleeves are also mentioned at the end of the pattern)
