I started with this Sweater Vest from the thrift store. I loved the argyle. I cut 3 inches from the sides of the vest. Cutting the front and back. Leaving one seam intact. Using the bottom of the vest gives you a finished edge.
Open your sweater and either zig zag or serge around the outside edges of your gloves.
Fold your gloves right sides together. Pin edges together. Stitch along long edge.
Fold the raw edge down 1/2 inch to the wrong side. Making a small casing.
Thread 8-10 inches of 1/8 elastic through the casing. Tie off your ends.
All finished.
Head out and sport your new Fingerless Gloves.



















Who's cute hands are those?! I love how these turned out. Maybe if I get the ambition, I will have to make some!
