This is my first project, so let me know what you think! This is a really easy way to redo old socks.. the pink ones I am using, the others were from a white pair.. the gloves were a version but chesire cat style :D. Enjoy!!

Instructions

  1. Small sdc10262 1283550213

    gather your materials btw markings are in purple to cut and stuff

  2. Small sdc10263 1283550766

    lay your sock flat as shown in the picture

  3. Small sdc10264 1283550850

    starting a bit above the toe seam, cut across to create the hole for your fingers

  4. Small sdc10265 1283551027

    lay your sock in half like like picture. THis is for the next couple of steps (or something like that)

  5. Small sdc10266 1283551201

    grab your ruler and starting from where the glove will start to where your thumb is (mine is 1 inch and 1 eighth)

  6. Small sdc10268 1283551331

    now got to your sock and starting from the top mark where the thumb hole starts

  7. Small sdc10270 1283551466

    draw a circle using the marking as the top. Make the circle smaller than what your gonna cut so that you won't see it

  8. Small sdc10272 1283551717

    cut the hole making it a bit bigger than the marking

  9. Small sdc10273 1283551807

    Try that bad boy out to stretch the fabric and make any alterations if necessary.

  10. Small sdc10276 1283558338

    from where the heel starts, cut it off from either side. Save the rest for later.

  11. Small sdc10278 1283558549

    Trim off excess fabric to make the end as nice and straight as you want. Now would be the time to cut off as much or as little as you want to make it the perfect length (in other words where you want it to end on your arm.)

  12. Small sdc10279 1283558682

    Try it on and BAM an awesome new glove!! The next few steps will work for socks elasticized at the top, cuffed socks especially.

  13. Small sdc10280 1283558888

    Get the piece you put aside ( with the heel). These make awesome arm warmers or mug cosies or really whatever you come up with!!

  14. Small sdc10281 1283558980

    Decide on how long you wanna make the warmer thing. I just cut the ribbing. Now cut the piece of desired length and voila- and Warmer whatever you want!!
