You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 Doily
  • 1 Knee Socks
  • 1 Cardigan

Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Snag a loose fitting cardigan, oval doily and, of course, a pair of coordinating knee socks

  2. 2

    *as I’m a confirmed knee-socks-as-sleeves addict & have written of their marvelousness numerous times on my blog I shall forego a lengthy step-by-step & simply leave this handy how-to collage for those who may be new to the fabulous socks-as-sleeves technique…

  3. 3

    Once your sleeves have been fancied-up center the doily on the back of the cardigan just under the neckline & pin in place

  4. 4

    Stitch it on

  5. 5

    Chop out the cardi fabric behind the center of the doily (if desired)

  6. 6

    Zig zag around the edge to prevent fraying & yer done!

  7. 7

    pop your cardi on backwards & enjoy your kewl new top!

  8. 8

    hmmm…but what to do with the chopped cardi sleeves…?

    Stitch up the raw end then hand sew a loose running stitch around the top & tie a couple of beads to the thread ends to create…

  9. 9

    a pair of fancy schmancy gift bags!
