OH NO! One side front of cardigan longer than other!!
I just finished both sides of the pattern "Babies and Bears Sweater for Grown-ups" (pattern by Carol A. Anderson at Cottage Creations) and the left side of the cardigan is longer than the right side! This is my first cardigan and I CAN NOT BELIEVE that I was so distracted to have a 8 stitch difference!

Any suggestions?? I am really at a loss as to what to do to fix something like that.

The only thing that comes to mind is cutting it & grafting the edges using kitchner stitch (just like closing the toe of a sock.) Does it have any plain stockinette sections that have no increases/decreases? Or is there some way to hide the graft by butting it against a place where the graft would be less noticeable? This is one where I would take it to my LYS for help.
