Shawnee Parkway Cardigan Revisited

I completed this sweater earlier, but I found that the pewter clasps I had used to close the sweater in the front were too heavy and difficult to wear. I removed the clasps and crocheted the front edge, adding button loops. On the other side of the front, I crocheted two matching rows. I found these wonderful buttons that carry out the leaf motif and used them instead of the clasps. I also added shoulder pads because the shoulder seemed to slope too much for my frame. The sweater will be much more wearable now.
