I've made a couple of pairs so far. I used this tutorial and pattern here and my husband sent me a link for another video and pattern here. This video is kind of long but she shows you how to ensure that you end up with a right and a left mitten. Seems obvious but it's easy to end up with two left handed mittens so the videos are helpful. Before I watched the second video I ended up with two left handed mittens. Not to worry I used the same sweater to make the right handed mittens for my two lefties but I'm sad to say I now have four left handed mittens instead of two. Ha, ha! Thankfully it was an ugly sweater that my brother in law gave me. He's living in Hawaii and doesn't need the sweater or the mittens so nothing lost.

I made this pair of mittens for myself. I'd like to try making a matching hat for my mittens. Or maybe I could create some slippers or something else with my left over felted sweaters. I've spent some time looking around Etsy for some inspiration. Looking for some cute felt slippers? Check out these rabbit slippers on Etsy, aren't they amazing?!!

That's halarious that you ended up with 4 left mittens. That is so totally what would happen to me! Thanks for the great laugh :) They did come out beautiful!
I love all your mittens and your packaging. I used to wrap everything in brown paper...but I used bright ribbons instead of string.....I want to go back to that but keep getting bags from people and tend to just use them!
Happy New Year!
those mittens are awesome! You are so incredibly talented. Great gift and great upcycling idea! Thanks for sharing
Love them - they look great! P.S I got the packaging x
