This is the sleeve of a cardigan I knitted several years ago. I invariably have a problem with knitted sleeves being too long which is why I tend towards 3/4 sleeves. I really like the cardigan but have worn it very little because the sleeves are too long, they weren't too bad to start but have definitely got longer.

I would like to shorten the sleeves, I can afford to take one complete pattern repeat off the end. The edging is crocheted, can't for the life of me remember how I did it as I don't crochet but I'll be able to work it out again. I'm not sure how to go about taking off the sleeve bottom, I'm not sure what you get if you unravel from the cast on edge, some sort of loops presumably. My thinking at the moment is to run a 'safety line' through the stitches where I want the new sleeve end to be then cut off below it. Will I then be able to 'cast off the new edge'? I may be able to crochet directly into the loops that are left but I feel that it would be better with a more stable edge to pick up for the border.
Thoughts please.
