How to Fold a Sweater

Have you ever walked through a department store and noticed how the sweaters are folded perfectly on the display shelves? There's a quick and easy method to folding a sweater the correct way, so that you minimize wrinkles and maximize the amount of space in your dresser. Here's how:

1. 1. Lay the sweater face down on a flat surface and smooth it out with your hands.
2. 2. Take one arm and fold it straight across towards the opposite shoulder
3. 3. Do the same with the other arm
4. 4. Fold over one side of the sweater to the middle
5. 5. Repeat this on the other side as well, so that sleeve edges meet at the center
6. 6. Fold the sweater up once or twice, depending on the length of the sweater
7. 7. Flip the sweater over and place it neatly in your dresser
