How to Fold a Sweater
(Inspired by the Marie Kondo technique)
- Lay the sweater flat in front of you with the sleeves spread out.
- Fold in the right side with the sleeve straight out.
- Fold the sleeve over and down so it creates a triangle.
- Repeat on the left side so you are left with a rectangle.
- Start from the top and fold inward until it stands upright.
- Lay the sweater face up out on a smooth surface.
- Fold the arms in – take the arms and fold them towards their opposite side of the sweater, making them crisscross.
- Roll the hem – Take the hem and start to roll it up towards the neck of the sweater.
- Flip it over – Turn the sweater on the other side, so the front of the neck and sweater are facing up towards you.
- Put a rubber band around the sweater.
How to Fold Airy and Light Sweaters
- Lay out your sweater face up on a level surface.
- Fold the arms – Take one arm and fold the arm over the face of the sweater, towards the other side of the sweater. Grab the cuff of that arm and fold it back over the face of the sweater, towards the side that the arm is on. Do the same for the other sleeve.
- Roll the sweater up – take the hem and start to roll the sweater upwards, towards the neck. Stop when it reaches the neck of the sweater.
- Fold in half – Take one end of the sweater and bring it over to meet the other. The fold will be directly in the center of the sweater.
