Fingerless wristwarmer mitts made in five minutes
Winter’s going to be here before you know it, the cold winds and snow are going to be blowing in and sucking the heat out of the word. Yeah, a bit over the top I know, but you get the point. At some time you might need to keep your hands warm and yet there’re no gloves handy. However, you just might have some socks to hand!
This is a simple how-to from Mary in the UK
I bought a pair of loop pile camping socks in Poundland last week, but when I got them home, I realized that they had really thick clumsy seams across the toes. This makes them unwearable for me, just blisters waiting to happen. I was about to throw them out, when I had an idea.
Put your hand into the sock so that the base of your thumb sits at the heel of the sock.
Now cut straight across at the mark where your finger knuckle was.
Result, one pair of warm, comfortable, fingerless mittens, in a good bushcrafty green color, for a pound
cheers, Mary of Bushcraft UK
