I did touch on a moment of guilt, cutting into an otherwise completely wearable garment. Having said that, when I located a store label inside the jumper marked as 'poly-knit', I didn't feel as bad as I would have done cutting into a home knitted jumper.
This is an incredibly easy project to do, cut off sleeves, and neckline. Sew sides shut (I serged with my overlocker, but you don't have to), add casing and elastic to the top of the skirt and leg warmers, and you're done.

ahh...so cute, the sweater looks more adorable as a skirt. And nothing is put to waste...I like the sleeves as leg warmers too. Easy to make and look absolutely chic!

So, so great! The skirt looks like it jumped off the pages of a fashion mag.
Cute!
I love how this DIY turned out. It looks absolutely lovely that skirt from a sweater. Awesome job! Now you have a skirt and cute leg warmers. :)
It looks great!!!! As a suggestion I would have turned the jumper upside down and used the thicker border as the hem.
Ahhhh, so amazing! I love this so much. I've got to go op-shopping for some DIYable jumpers.
Thanks so much for your comment on my #opshopfound / #opshopfind post.
Love the skirt and the leg warmers. In fact, I think the leg warmers are my favourite part.
Turned out so gorgeous!
