I need some more details before I can suggest anything What, exactly, is
wrong? What color is it? What style? What thickness of yarn?

On further reflection...................could you perhaps add a crocheted
border to the hem, if that is where the problem lies? If you have an
appropriate yarn, you could perhaps do that plus add a similar border to
neckline and sleeve hems so that it looks planned, not added.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe even crocheting around the sleeves
also... to tie it all together.
