It happens that the clothes get bored. Hanging in the closet is still a good blouse, but for some reason I don’t want to wear it, but it’s a pity to throw it away or give it back. There may even be several such jackets. Other things also happen. You accidentally planted a stain or burned your favorite blouse, nothing can be fixed, but you still like it. If you have at least minimal sewing, knitting, or lace-making skills, you can update your blouse without anyone recognizing it.
It is necessary

Instructions
Step 1
Tie the collar and cuffs into it if you want to redo a plain long-sleeved sweater. At the same time, the old collar can be ripped off or left as a base. Measure the neck size and count the number of posts. The collar can be one or two pieces, depending on where the clasp is.
Step 2
For a solid collar, tie a chain of chain stitches to the desired length. Make 2 loops on the rise and tie 1 row with double crochets. The simplest lace option is a crochet openwork mesh. Knit the following rows according to the pattern: * 1 double crochet in the previous row, 1 air loop over the previous row *. Add loops along the cut of the collar, knitting at the beginning of each row after the loops for lifting 3 columns in 1 column of the previous row.
Step 3
For a two-piece collar, tie 2 symmetrical pieces. Add loops along those cuts of the collar that are in front. Knit back cuts without adding. Tie the cuffs in the same way. You can decorate new details with embroidery on a sirloin mesh, multicolor or to match the collar.
Step 4
The new collar can also be made from fabric. Reverse the old one and carve out details on it. Design the collar however you like. It can be made wide and decorated with sewing, just like the cuffs. A collar made of fabric of the same color, but with a different texture, looks stylish.
Step 5
If you do not want to be limited to a collar, you can make a blouse with a knitted yoke. Draw a yoke line on the sweater. Carefully cut off the excess part of the front. Peel back the parts of the sleeves that are adjacent to the yoke. Overlock the slices. Start knitting the yoke from the bottom. You can do this with an openwork mesh or any other openwork knitting. Knit the first row with single crochet stitches, knitting them into the stitching loops. How many threads to skip at the same time depends on the thickness of the yarn and overcast threads. Work out the next rows by grabbing the overlining of the sleeves.
