Hi,
My name is Jenny,
I knitted an old pattern from a Chateliane magazine and obviously used a different yarn. While I knitted a swatch, I only checked the width and not the length. However, after knitting the whole top in the large size I ended up with a Small and a very short sweater. Now, I am wondering, how I can increase the length ?
Lovely pattern and knitting.
There is a way to detach the bottom rib, extend the length by knitting down from the new edge and then knitting a new rib. You may even be able to re-use the yarn from the ribbing if necessary.
I’ve used this technique to shorten and lengthen sweaters and it works very well.
THank you. I will give it a try and let you know. Jenny
