Sweater Vest Wrap, DIY

My wonderful Blog Friend Judy,  sent me some beautiful Sweater  scraps and remnants, and wanted me to Re-Style them.  This piece, that I have finally finished, has been a work in progress for about 4 weeks  now.  I have been tweaking it and changing it until I  have finally made it just the way I wanted it.  This sweater remnant  was  about the size of a small throw blanket and all I did was add arm holes, hem it,  add buttons and button holes,  then I transformed it into this sweater~ wrap, that I love. Thank you so much Judy from the blog, Just another day on Earth, for your beautiful pieces of knitting.
I hope I do them all justice.

Tutorial 

Things You Need.

1. Knit material,  blanket, scarf or just a piece of material, about  4 feet long by 3 feet wide.
2. Scissors
3. Sewing machine
4. Matching yarn about 24 inches.
5. Needle

I cut a straight line for my arm holes, then I hemmed them with a zigzag stitch. 

It naturally made a circle.

I hemmed the bottom  using  a zigzag stitch.

I added two buttons,~My Grandmothers antique buttons, she so graciously gave me~
One on the inside,
and one on the outside: right above the arms.

I made two button holes.
One on the top corner,
and one on the other side about one foot from the top.

I whip stitched around the button hole for extra strength.

 Leave it open

Turn it upside down and make it a shorter sweater wrap, with more fullness at the neck.

Shorter side~ buttoned.

Roll down the collar for a turtleneck look.

 Shorter side, not buttoned

Thank you again Judy for you wonderful pieces of work.
