Recycled Sweater Mittens

January 17, 2017

Cozy Mittens from Sweater - looking down on hand inside mittenI love mittens. They have a certain charm about them. I had a few leftover pieces of yarn and a beautiful, yet stained sweater. I decided to make mittens out of the sweater. I made socks too, but didn't have the greatest success with those, so I repurposed them into legwarmers. I love how the mittens turned out. I wear them all the time!
