  Step 1

  First, you need to cut the sweater into a desired length, which is a pretty simple step. If you would like to hem it you certainly can. My sweater had pretty small stitches ( you should definitely hem it if it has large stitches ), I didn't really need to hem it. It curls at the bottom but that's fine with me.

  Step 2

  Then, cut the bottom piece along one seam and use the bottom to cut two sleeves out. These will be attached to the pre-existing sleeves so you only need to cut them as long as the distance from the pre-existing sleeve to your wrist.

  Step 3

  Then, fold the sleeves in half, sew along the edges with a zig-zag stitch. Attach them to the sweater by folding the raw sleeve edge inward about a half and inch and hand sewing onto the pre-existing sleeve, You can do this differently if you so choose. However, be aware of what will make the fabric ripple because it won't look good. I hand stitched because it makes it easier to control that side effect.

  And with that, you're done! I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, please comment.
