I appreciate this so much! I really thought this would be beyond me and I would have numb fingers another winter. I've just made the liners and these are warmer than my gloves. This is the best Christmas gift I could imagine. Once I finish this pair I hope to do at least another to share. I hope you still read the comments. Thank you!

Very thorough tutorial! Nicely done. Your little pocket is adorbs! The only thing that I do differently with my mittens is that I stitch everything a second time by just going right over the top of the first stitches that I sew. That way the seams are really reinforced to prevent any kind of blowout from wear and tear. I also sew on my own handmade ceramic buttons on the cuff for extra pizazz. I made my own mitten pattern several years ago and I made it extra big because I like really roomy mittens. Thank you for sharing your nifty tutorial!

GREAT tutorial!!! Thank you so much! I just made a pair of mittens for my daughter... I actually used a "mini tree skirt" from Target - vs. an old sweater because the pattern was adorable and matched my daughter's winter jacket perfectly, and then used an old very soft sweater for the lining. Yay! less than $5.00 total! ps, in the comments below are listed how to get the pattern: Look above "ALL COMMENTS"; below where it says,"Got some old sweaters lying around?...." there you will see "Show More". Click on the "show more" and it drops down to show you "get the PDF pattern" click on that and.....there it is!!

I'm having issues after you join the inside top with inside bottom. After you turn it inside out, the long edge along the thumb side does not lay flat where the top and bottom join; it's just about impossible to get a good seam when sewing it to the front piece right at the outside of the thumb. (at 11:16 in the video). I don't know how you managed to pinch it flat in the video because it didn't work for me. The other issue I had is with the pattern. If you lay the paper pattern out, the inside top and bottom together equals the length of the front piece, however, that doesn't accommodate the seam allowance, so when it's sewn, the inside of the mitten is shorter than the front piece. I thought I would love it, but am a bit disappointed. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. Yours are pretty, though.

In the video you say to use half-inch seam allowance but on the pattern it says" all seam allowances are ¼" and are included in this pattern". Which is the correct allowance to use?

I had the same issue. I realized that you have to go to printer options and make sure 'fit to page' is not selected. The first ones I printed show "10 x 5/8" printed on left of page but that line only measures about an 8 1/8" Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention that you should use legal size paper though as it will not give you the correct length of the mitten palm bottom on a standard size sheet of paper.

Pattern is cool, the concept is great... accept, if you have to buy sweaters, do it in the summer time.. don't buy them in the winter.. because people do need the sweater to keep warm in winter time..... Also, would it kill people to do matching mittens, I mean a mitten with three or four different colors looks tacky to me.. just think if it is worth doing..make them pretty.. not junky

Great tutorial love the colors. Can I use velour sweater fabric?
@marimmm76969 жыл бұрын
@Evelyn, in my experience, you can use something like velour fabric or sweaters that are not 100% wool, but they won't look as nice and they won't be as warm and protective, especially when they get wet from snow. Being from the north where we have sub-zero weather, I highly recommend 100% wool! JMHO. :-)

The video is just the right amount of time. Go the the PDF pattern page to understand what needs done to construct these mittens. Print pattern and gather sweaters, machine, scissors, threads. Then begin watching the video and do the steps as instructed and shown. Pause the video until you've completed a step. Then move on to the next.

You guys clearly don't understand what Lifehacker is all about - "anything that solves an everyday problem in a clever or non-obvious way might be called a life hack" hence the name. Cutting up sweaters is not an obvious way to make mittens, and it is kind of clever.
