Easily extend your wardrobe by adding hand/arm warmers!
Decide where you want your thumb to come through and snip. Be careful, socks are stretchy, so even a small snip can be too much sometimes. You can always enlarge the thumb hole.
After cutting the first one, do the same thing with one sock on top of the other to cut a second thumb hole. Machine or handstitch to finish edges.
Add embellishments if you like : buttons, lace, ribbons, or sequins for example. Have fun!
I haven't finished the top edge of my hand warmers yet; I have the tops turned under.

This is a page about DIY arm warmers made from socks. Follow the detailed instructions to make cute arm warmers from any pair of knee socks. This could become addictive so buy lots of socks.

It was extra cold today and when I was getting ready to go out I thought how nice it would be to have some arm warmers.
