How to Make No-Knit Knitted Mitts

 

 

Upcycle an old jumper to make a warm pair of knitted mitts… without the knitting!

 

Materials

Jumper (dig out an old one or grab a bargain from the charity shop/thrift store)

Pins

Scissors

Sewing machine

Paper (for template)

Pencil or pen

 

Instructions

Place your hand onto the paper and draw a mitt shape around it with a pen. Remember to leave a seam allowance (at least 1 inch).

Cut the template from the paper and pin to your jumper.

 

 

Cut around the template.

Pin inside out leaving the opening for your hand to fit through.

Sew around the edge (with your 1 inch seam allowance) using a sewing machine or by hand.

 

 

Turn the right way out and try on.

Repeat the instructions to make your second mitt!

 

 

Enjoy warm hands!
