It's a glove, it's a mitten, IT'S A GLITTEN!

Step 6 Double it up!

 So, now you've learned how to make a basic pattern. You ready for more?
I thought you would be!

So, now I'm going to go through making the same glittens, but they'll be 2 layers of fleece, for when it gets really cold.

Now, since you are a pattern-making pro, we'll adjust the pattern from the first go round, to accommodate another layer of fabric

1. Take your #1 pattern from last time, and this time, trace your butterfly with a full inch of extra

2. Do the same with your #2 pattern

3. Check yourself, before your wreck yourself.  The wrist will now be much to big. To fix this, I
-put the pattern on the fabric and
-marked the outsides of the wrist.
-then wrapped it around my wrist and noticed it was about 1 1/2" too big
-I went back and cut down my pattern

-You could also measure the distance around your wrist, add about 1" and cut your pattern accordingly

Now, this time, cut the double layer of fabric just like the first time, only, don't separate it!

Sew everything up the same as before

Oh my goodness, you just cut a few patterns AND made glittens! You crazy kid, you!

Instead of adjust the wrist of the pattern, do you think it would work if you sew elastic around the wrist part? It might help keep the glittens in place especially for kids. Thanks for the tutorial, I can't wait to make a pair.
