About this Sew-Along:

Sew a Keystone Hooded Cardigan for stylish layering! Join Amanda Carestio and Kate Zaynard, the editors behind Sew News magazine and hosts of the Sew & Tell podcast, to learn how in this sew-along.

The Keystone Hooded Cardigan is as chic as it is cozy. Available in sizes 0-34, the cardigan is roomy through the body with slightly fitted arms for a balanced silhouette. And a hood! Perfect for pattern hacking, the design features side vents and can be sewn up in medium knits with ample stretch. This project is totally approachable, even if you’re new to sewing with knits, and it makes a great wardrobe builder for transitional seasons. Follow along with Kate and Amanda and sew the perfect spring cardi. Begin by learning how to select the right knit fabric and then get started with the construction. With knit sewing tips along the way for both the serger and the conventional sewing machine, you’ll also learn how to attach sleeves, install a hood, apply a facing, create tidy split hems and more.
