Description
My community service patterns used to be put up for free (the old ones still are), but folks pointed out that if I charged for the new ones, others would help me carry the load. Money is rolled back into supplies/freight.
Mittens sewn from Felted Sweaters
$25.00
This ergonomic mitten is designed to be made from felted knit fabric, having the side benefit of saving accidentally-shrunk sweaters from the landfill. Wool (naturally water-resistant) is warm even when soaking wet. Felted wool is wind-resistant, making it ideal for mittens.
Most men’s hands are square; most women’s are rectangular. This is why many women cannot find gloves/mittens that fit, and why two different
pattern shapes are given: seven each plus the baby.
The full enchilada of fifteen patterns for $25 is overkill; it kicks a few more dollars into the kitty. Includes sixteen illustrated pages of instructions.
