- What you can certainly do is snip one strand where the ribbing meets the
- body, and unravel that strand all the way around. Then pick up your
- stiches and re-do the ribbing in the opposite direction, casting off at
- the bottom. This will look fine -- no one will be able to tell, unless
- they look closely enough to see that you have cast off at both "ends" of
- your sweater....
