How to recycle an old sweater (or a botched one) into usable yarn

Step 4Locating the seams of a finished sweater to frog (rip it).

Locating the seams of a finished sweater to frog (rip it).
Pictures 1 & 2 demonstrate some typical sweater seams you may come across when you're recycling yarn from an old sweater or a thrift store find.

The arrows in 3rd picture show the seams in a knit vest that was way too small for my son.

If the seams are super snug, take a pair of scissors with very sharp points and carefully slide a point underneath one of the seam stitches and snip it. Make sure you do not cut into the knitted portions of the sweater. Picture 4 shows the snip being made.
