Knitting help!

Ok yall so im working on a sweater and i just finished the sleeves. The sleeves are worked top to rib and i just realized that they might b too short. They might b ok but i just wanna b safe. Is there anyway i could add more rows on to the top where the cast on is??

I do have some experience with this! Well, I think I do, haha, may be my own misunderstanding.

For me, I had made one color in a color block sweater but ended up wanting to use another color, so I used this method of sweater surgery to basically go back to the cast on edge and redo that section. I’m not certain if it would work for a top down type of sleeve, but it is a great resource for fixing issues like that.

I know this is super late, and hopefully your idea worked, but still may be worth watching as it is quite informative, so I’ll share it anyway!

Best of luck to you :sparkles:
