So I had the arms left over from the sweater I felted the other day and decided to try some fingerless mittens with a thumb hole.
I figured out where I wanted my thumb to come through and picked the stitches in the seam so it could pop out. I also straightened out the ends.
The arms were a bit too wide so I turned them inside out sewed a straight line down from the seam and cut off the excess.
Again, because I’m really trying to get my stitching skills up there, I used blanket stitch around the thumb hole and the bottom of the mitts.
I like these because you can change the length of the mitten.
Overall I think these are super cute. I need to tweak the design a bit and continue to work on my hand stitching, but I like them. They would come in handy in so many situations.
