Refashioning a Sweater

Dear Theresa,
I had a horrible wool-eating moth episode last summer which destroyed or marred most of our wool and cashmere sweaters. I'm not very good at darning and finding yarn to match a variety of sweaters is hard to near impossible, so I decided to refashion a couple around the moth holes.

This pullover was always too small, so I turned it into a cardigan. One of the moth holes is marked by the pin in the picture.The first step was opening up the collar. Next, I cut the sweater right down the middle of the front. Lastly, I tried it on and figured out where the button would go.
I'll probably wear this without the button on. The fall of the new collar completely hides the moth holes. Pretty easy!
