Sally Cardigan KAL: The Button Placket + A Sally For Your Pet!
With the big bad steek behind you, all that’s left is the button placket, a piece of cake. Picking up the button placket is pretty straightforward (detailed instructions on the original pattern). You may notice that on the right side of the steek/left side of the sweater, some of the stitches you’re using for your […]
