Finish Cukado Cardigan
The cardigan has a nice placket on the front. The loops were created by the many lifting-chain stitches in some rows. All you have to do is sew buttons on the other side of the button placket. Here you try out first if your buttons just fit through the button loops. Then you sew the buttons on the other side and secure the threads inside.
