This post is so helpful. I’ve been roaming around the web to figure out how to do exactly that. Well, I found a nice chunky turtleneck on sale for $10 at the Gap, and everything but the width was acceptable. I was wondering if turning it into a cardigan is possible, and evidently it is. Thanks.

I love the transformation. Next time you get ready to cut, this might come in handy: http://www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/01/the_steeking_chronicles_part_i.html

The part on crochet steeks is AMAZING (I’m still working up the nerve to actually try it!)

wow. I am speechless. That is simply amazing. I loveeee the afters! Thank you SOO much for posting a Tute. I just have a question. When you say pick up stitches for the buttom band, you mean pick up in the purl ‘ladders’ between each knit stitch? I have my first sweater that I have been meaning to re-knit (the upper region us huge and shapeless and it is too short and the neckline is baggy) but if I could simply revamp…..wow. You just gave me a lot of inspiration!

I love how both sweaters turned out! (And did you really cut before sewing? Nerves of steel!)

Very impressive! Both the new sweaters are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing the process. I may have to perform the same surgery on my first sweater!
