How do you repair a frayed ribbed cuff on a favorite aran isle sweater?

YOUR ANSWER


If you still have some of the wool the sweater was knitted with, you could try picking up stitches from the bottom of the cuff and knitting a couple of rows down.

I would unpick the cast on to expose an un-frayed row of loops and use those to knit a couple of rows of rib, then cast off to form a new bottom edge.

Yarn is not available so am going to try a contrast color in a similiar yarn. Thanks for the tip on going back beyond the frayed part.
