The patterns were given to me by a kind and generous woman in Northern Wisconsin who whips out dozens of them each year, both for her family and to sell. It was in this spirit of generosity and crafting for the greater good that I’ve decided to in turn, share the patterns with you.

Through my own use, I’ve made my own modifications, omitting the turned cuff that you may have seen as part of many sweater mittens, and modifying the fit slightly.

Great way to use up old sweaters that still have a lot of use left in them. The tutorial is four pages and documents each step needed to make the mitts plus you’ll find free patterns to download (via pdf download).

Pattern Sizes: Child Small Age 3-5; Child Medium Age 6-11; Child Large / Adult Sm Age 12 / petite adult; and Adult Regular Fits most adults.

    I tried to figure out the tutorial on this, but it just didn’t compute in my head. It does look like a great project though, but pattern is very hard to read and figure out
