Convertible Sweater or Vest

Some time ago, Susy Ranner was talking of having sleeves being attached by buttons.

That reminded me of a pattern I had saved, dated March/April 1987. Look at the bottom of the scanned photo.

It is a plain drop sleeve sweater pattern.

Well I had finally made one but took the cap sleeves from another sweater to hide the buttonholes.

Here is what it looks like finished, watch the graphics to see the animation of 3 photos.

1. What one needs to do is first get a pattern for the size they need
2. Then add ribbing to the armhole area of the vest part
3. Now when you do the sleeves, you put ribbing at the top
4. Sew up all parts and weave in the yarn tails
5. Last is to sew on buttons
6. This is for my oldest grandniece and I ended up with 18 buttons on each sleeve top
