Question

A sweater that has four corners on one side – is it obligated in tzitzit?

Answer

A God-fearing person should round off one of the corners by means of a professionally fashioned corner, but simple non-professional stitching does not help. It is also possible to transfer ownership to a friend, and then it is obligated only rabbinically, and regarding this one may rely on the view that tzitzit are not required when the four corners are at the front.
