Mittens







Wet felted mittens for my Grandsons

Today I made some mittens for my grandsons who are age 2 1/2 and 8. The last time they spent the night with us I traced their hands and told them I would make them some mittens. So here they are.

They were done the same way as the slippers. I used their hand tracings and then added about 1 inch all the way around. I cut out the pattern and taped the arm ends together so each pair could be felted at the same time and then cut in half after felting. I cut the pattern out of floor underlayment to use as the resist.
