6. Another model
This one looks more like a sock and less like it was a mitt from the start. But I like the stripes!

5. Voilà !
Nice short chunky fingerless mitts. I did the same with knee-length socks to have elbow-length mitts :)

4. Assembly
Sew the little tube and the lower part of the cut sock. You might want to sew the edges of the thumb holes so that the yarn doesn't fray.

3. Sewing the upper part
Roll the middle part of the cut sock inside out and sew the edges to have a little tube of cloth (left). Roll inside out again (right).

2. Cutting the socks
Cut the socks in 3 : just below the toes and above the heels. The top part is of no use in this project.

1. Hopeless socks
These socks are beyond mending, with huge holes just above the heels. Wash them thoroughly before starting. Seriously.

My dry "hot-water" thingy
A cushion full of rice to keep cool in the summer and warm come winter. How the hell do you call that in English?

2. Remove all air bubbles
Make sure you remove all air bubbles after you glue. You can use a thick ruler or this device, especially designed to remove nasty air bubbles.
