Inspiration...Transitional Cardigan

It won't be long before the seasons start changing again and having a go-to cardigan will be necessary.  Personally, I've been wearing a lot of sleeveless items and having a cardigan available is necessary when you go into shops and medical facilities.  Here's the inspiration photo:

This is the Nic & Zoe Saratoga Cardigan.  Price tag: $178.00. Details - mid-weight, 3/4 sleeves, open front, sits at hip, 24" long.  To me, this also looks like a ribbon on on the hems.  Doesn't it fit the model beautifully?

I'm not willing to spend that much on a cardigan even as beautiful as this one.  Here's an option: 

This is Pamela's Patterns Cool Cardigan Banded Front. This is fairly close to the silhouette of the inspiration pattern.  There are other cardigan patterns at this website also.

Hope your inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
