I raided my sweaters too constitute an angora too wool blend Express turtle cervix sweater that I had thrifted almost viii years ago. Sorry bunnies, this projection did request y'all later all... 

I cutting off the cervix too the sleeves. The outcome looked similar this (I apologize for the misfortunate tutorial pics; I did this on a whim at 9pm lastly night):
