Hello. I am almost done with a simple cardigan for my DD. The pattern is haiku from knitty.com. It is a sideways knit cardigan so the edges of the 2 cardigan openings are the cast-on and bound-off edges. Well, my cast-on edge is much looser than the bound off edge and so that side of the cardigan is longer than the right and looks sloppy.
How can I fix this? Thanks for any advice. BTW, I used the crochet cast-on method.
One side of Cardigan is longer than the other

Hmmmm…
Maybe you could pick up stitches along the CO edge, and BO those stitches as you go? That way you’ll have a BO edge on that side as well.
I’m not sure what it will look like, but I imagine it will look fine. You could try it anyway…
