DIY Wool Mittens (from an old sweater)

I know this one has been circulating on Pinterest for a while, but I decided to try it myself and make a proper tutorial. The important step those pictures don't mention is to felt your wool sweater first. For more details about felting, come see my original post here.

But if you're felting wool savvy, then this project is easy peasy. Trace your hand onto paper to make a pattern, cut out four pieces, sew right sides together, and voila! Easiest mittens in the world.







I really didn't expect them to turn out this well, but I am so very, very pleased.
