How annoying it becomes in such cases that your favorite thing does not fit your size. Fortunately, there is a way out.

There is another way to stretch a woolen item. To do this, prepare a bowl of lukewarm water, add conditioner, and leave the clothes in the bowl for 15 minutes. Then you need to prepare an old towel, in area exceeding the size of the thing, put it on the floor, then take the thing out of the basin and lay it out on the towel. Next, you need to evenly stretch it to the desired size and secure it with pins to the towel at a distance of 2 cm. If necessary, you can use some kind of weight.
