In this way, you can redo a jumper or pullover in two cases. The first is when you just want to find a thing on a clasp instead of a thing without it (you need to take into account that the converted thing will already be about 2-3 cm). The second - when the jumper / pullover sat wide after washing or became too small for another reason: then you can remake it into a sweatshirt with buttons on top. By the way, this way you can make comfortable clothes during pregnancy.

Step 1
![](http://img.ballardsicecream.com/img/burd-2020/3915/master-klass-peredelivaem-dzhemper-vkardigan-5.jpeg)

Step 2

Step 3
