A simple cardigan.

I was determined to find something for this silk jersey that I had picked up traveling to Monterrey California a couple of years ago. I'm not absolutely sure it is not swimsuit fabric, actually. Anyway, I picked up McCalls 5241, a "1 hour cardigan", but the arm hole is so messed up that I just studied the way the center front is extended and made edits to Butterick 0463 T-shirt pattern. Basically, I just extended the center front to 12" square. I used my serger for all consruction and the edges are serged without any hems. Looking back, I might have made it with 3/4 sleeves, but overall I'm pleased with it. I think it makes a nice pattern basic because the vertical lines along the front add height and since it's jersey, it's pretty low maintenance. I think I'll stock up on a couple of prints from Emma One Sock to make a couple of variations of this.
