Remember last winter when I showed you how to make fun stuff from old sweaters? I put new life into these old sweaters by upcycling them into Bootcuffs, Mittens and Headband/Ear Warmer. (Oh, wow, I really need to redo those photos, lol)

Well, I personally really like fingerless gloves and honestly, they are much, much easier to sew than mittens. This is a super quick project!

Step 1: Supplies:

- Old Sweater

- Fabric Scissors or Rotary Cutter and Cutting Mat

- Sewing Machine or Needle & Thread

- Ruler

Step 2: Measure, Cut & Hem

First, you need to decide how long you want your fingerless gloves to be, then cut the sleeves 1″ longer to allow for the hem. I wanted mine to be 9″ long so I cut the sleeves off at 10″ from the cuff. If your sweater is very bulky, you may want to pin the edges before cutting them so keep it from raveling.

Step 3: Stitch:

Put your hand in the sleeve to figure out where to stitch the seam for the thumb. You may need another person to help you with this. On the inside of the sleeve, sew a ‘V’ between thumb and forefinger. I double stitched to make sure it would hold up. Next, you want to carefully cut out the ‘V’.

Turn right side out and repeat with the second sleeve. The sleeves for this sweater were nice and snug on my arms. If yours are too loose, simply fit it to your arm, pin and sew along the inside.

These fingerless gloves also make great gifts!
