I was just looking at a pile of sweaters in my closet that I’m quite sure I would never wear again and I’m not sure anyone else would either. This is a perfect solution!

I just love these mittens! It has been so cold lately that I could use both pairs! I love felting things and repurposing them. I made a super warm lap quilt once by using old sweaters!

Cynthia, I’d love to see that quilt.

Hi Susan – So I’m not sure if I’m wishing I was small enough to fit into the sweater, or tough enough to take the mittens away from your daughter! Kidding of course! These are just so dang cute I can’t even stand it. Your talent always amazes me and I can’t wait to see your next project. Hugs, Holly

I’m still grinning because my daughter wore the mittens to school today. How about we find a sweater and make a pair of mittens just for you.

You know I love these mittens. I want to drop by and thank you for linking this great post to the Living Big on Less Money link party!
Winnie says
I do have some old sweaters, and I wish I had the courage to make these mittens out of them. I certainly could use them!!
Jessi @ Practically Functional says

I love these! It’s a shame we’re are living in Australia for a few years……..
susan says
Susanne, you could always make them smaller as Christmas or winter decorations.

Would love to know more about your upcycled sweater bins but the link doesn’t work and a seRch of your site doesn’t understand them. Can you help please! Love the mittens. Thanks for sharing.

I’m glad you like the mittens, Gram. The upcycled sweater bins is still a favorite project of mine. The link works, it just has to be redirected because it was one of my original blog posts. Here’s a direct link to save that redirect step – https://organized31.com/2013/05/upcycled-sweater-to-stylish-organizing.html .
