Be aware to not sew folded edges. Repeat the same steps in opposite side of cadigan. Take front bottom lace and thread it through tunnel in front bottom so it would stay hanging in the side. Sew lace together with sweater in front where tunnel connects with collar. Do the same in opposite side. Thread back bottom lace, cuff laces and front bottom laces through tunnels and make knots in their ends. Sew snap fasteners in front as it is seen in photos.
