How to Upcycle a T-shirt into a Cardigan

By DIY Maven

Cal Patch over on Craftzine turned an oversized t-shirt into a feminine cardi. Yes, she did crochet the fancy new edging--which is another reason you should really learn how to crochet--but you could achieve a similar look by sewing on lacy edging. However, for the crochet version, you'll need....

  • an oversized t-shirt
  • tape measure
  • thread
  • scissors
  • chalk
  • buttons
  • sock-weight yarn
  • small crochet hook

For the entire tute, check out this page over on Craftzine.

Super cute! And the perfect lightweight material for those chilly spring days on the patio.
