Easy DIY Kimono Cardigan

Your cardigan is very simple and cute! Although your cardigan is very simple, your tutorial is written for someone with sewing experience. Your cutting section should instruct to allow extra for hems, seams, etc. And you are not very clear about your measuring.

You should include a section that shows how you cut the sleeves, and some instruction should be included to tell that your mid-section (or bust) measurement should be divided by 4 (since your fabric is folded twice) and to allow for seams on the sides and arms.
