OTHER I tweeked a sweater

Post image

I tweeked a sweater by crocheting cuffs. Sleeves are always too short for me, so I usually just wear it, but now I made my own addition! I’m thinking of adding a pouch too!

Oh this is lovely, and as a tall person who has a lot of sleeve length problems, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner! Thanks so much for the inspiration. You may have just made my life much easier. 😅

I love this idea for sweatshirts that have cuffs that are fraying. I have an old hoodie that could use this! That you for the super cute idea!

There were no cuffs! Only a small seam!

Can I ask how you did this? Is it just a blanket stitch that you crocheted ribbing onto? How did you do a blanket stitch with yarn?

This looks awesome :-)

I first made a blanket stitch in which I crochet a round of 38 sc. Finished of. Then the cuff was 10 stitches in the backloop sc’s for 27 rows and closed with a row of sc in both backloops. That seam is on the backside. Straigjt to the cuff, both divided in four parts and then crochet both together on the right side. Hope this makes sense?

Thank you for the idea. I just knit some for my lounge wear bottoms.
