S2560 - Missoni-esque Cardigan

A few months ago I spotted a gorgeous sweater knit at fabric.com while I was perusing the fabric.com website.    I love sweater knits and don't sew with them nearly enough.  Part of the reason is that I live in hot, south Alabama where we have not even really had a winter this season.  When I saw this beauty, though, I had to get it.  I love Missoni prints.  I assume that many of you are familiar with them, but, if not, they are famous for their unique zig zag print clothing.  Here are some of their pieces:

 I even made a dress out of some real Missoni fabric that I got on sale about 2 years ago.  When I saw this fabric.com fabric, I just could not resist its Missoni look or its lovely pink, brown, and lime green colors.  I knew immediately that I would use S2560 - View A to make my cardigan.

The construction process was very simple.  I did make one alteration, though.  I omitted the gathering in the back of the cardigan.  I originally included it, but the sweater knit was a little to bulky for it and it looked way to poufy, so I just took it out.  Other than that change, I made it according to the instructions, and it was very easy.
