Cinnamon cardigan testers round up

The Cinnamon cardigan is a layering piece, a staple to wear over long sleeve tees, dresses and shirts. It's an oversized design, with slightly droped shoulder seams and plenty of room around the body. It features a front and neck placket with buttons, and can have sleeve cuffs and a waistband to pull it closer to the body when closed. It's a unisex pattern, comes in sizes 12 months to 14 years old, and it's seriously a super fast sew. Oh, and it will have a video sew-along in my YouTube channel.

The pattern testers made beautiful cardigans in different fabrics, and here are their photos for you to be inspired.
