Tutorial: Make a little girl’s sweater from an adult sweater

I have recently begun knitting. It’s enjoyable for me, but I’m still not anywhere near where I could take on a project as large as a sweater. Beth from The Renegade Seamstress shows how you can using your sewing skills, rather than knitting skills, to create an adorable sweater for a little girl. Instead of knitting from scratch, you’ll start with a thrifted adult sweater, and size it down to fit a child. Sew smart!
