An Easy Hack to Crop Your Cardigan and Change Its Neckline
Watch and learn how to turn a plain cardigan into a cute sweater with a new neckline. Just follow along with the steps in this genius cardigan hack tutorial. Let’s begin!
1. Wear your cardigan upside down
Start by holding your open cardigan with the inside facing your body. Put your arms in the wrong sleeves, meaning each arm should go in the sleeve closest to it.
Then flip it over your head so that the bottom hem is now around your neck.
2. Button it up
Next, button up your cardigan.
3. Pull down and swivel
Now, take your arms out of the sleeves and pull the cardigan to your waist.
Then, swivel the cardigan around so that it ends up backward.
4. Adjust the neckline and waist
Next, flip what is now the top of the sweater downward for a folded over neckline.
Tuck under the bottom for a clean finish at the waist as well.

Debra, she also made it more complicated. All you have to do is button it up, then just put it on upside down as if a regular pull ovrf sweater. Just have the buttons toward back.
But to me, at any younger age, if I saw someone wear a sweater like that, ill-fitting sleeves, I would just wonder if she was being hazed by a sorority, doing a Tik Tok video for a reaction, or on something or drunk when she got dressed, or got dressed in the dark.
The concept is really cute but the sleeve angles of inset aren't designed for it. Look at a shirt or sweater pattern. Sleeves I think would need resetting or sweater would feel like you had it on wrong. (You know how formed socks feel when you accidentally put them on with the seam line under your toes and heel part on top? )
Great concept though, Maybe deconstruct sweater first and flip sleeves?
Not my style
