Easy fluffy mittens woven with cardboard
Let’s make simple gloves using yarn.
Many yarn crafts involve knitting needles or crochet hooks, right? Some older adults may feel, “I’m not good at knitting.” Knitting often includes complicated methods.
However, here’s a way to make knitted gloves using just cardboard and wooden sticks like ice cream sticks.
Place your hand on the cardboard and draw an outline about one size larger.
After cutting out the outline, make slits at 1-centimeter intervals along the cut edge.
Wrap yarn around all the slits in the cardboard, then attach yarn to a wooden stick and start weaving.
The key is to pack the woven sections tightly together.
Once you’ve finished weaving, tie off the end of the yarn, remove it from the cardboard, and you’re done.
This easy method for making hand-knit gloves seems like something older adults can enjoy as well.
In conclusion
We introduced projects that are easy to knit using familiar materials.
It’s amazing that lovely handmade pieces can be created with everyday items like forks, plate stands, and cardboard, isn’t it? Use whatever designs and colors you like, and try knitting a one-of-a-kind piece that exists nowhere else in the world!
