I’ve got some leftover So Crafty Aran knitting yarn from a sweater I knitted. I’m knitting a matching pair of fingerless gloves using this free Easy Fingerless Mittens knitting pattern.
Materials
I’m knitting this Maguire Clan Aran in Aldi’s So Crafty Aran yarn in colour Misty Mauve. It’s a lovely dusky purple shade. The yarn knits up nicely enough and it’s super cheap to buy. It does tend to bobble more than I’d like. But after a few months of washing and wearing the bobbling does seem to settle down and stop getting any worse. On the whole, this has become one of my favourite budget yarn brands.
I’m using the 4mm knitting needles recommended in the knitting pattern.
Knitting Pattern
I’ve followed the Easy Fingerless Mittens from Marianna’s Lazy Daisy Days.
It’s a free knitting pattern and it’s availible in children’s to adult’s sizes.
I’ve found to to be a fantastic pattern for using up leftover yarn. What better way to put it to use than by making accessories to co-ordinate with the bigger project?
I do hope my Easy Fingerless Mittens Knitting project has inspired you to have a go at knitting your own mittens with your leftover bits of yarn.

A Little Bit About Me . . .
Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the interweb. I’m Bridie.
I’ve been crafting since I was toddling around craft shows while my mum sold knitting yarn. She used to buy me a new craft kit to keep me busy. When I grew up I set up my own online craft shop and loved every minute of it. There’s is nothing like the thrill of getting to be one of the first people to see new craft collections.
I sold my business to focus on raising my two children. They’re still young so for now I’m blogging my craft projects and sharing tutorials to inspire you. I love creating handmade cards with digital stamps. I scrapbook to preserve precious memories of my kids childhoods. I knit and sew to keep my kids in comfortable, unique clothes they love. I create batch cooked meals that give me more time to craft. And because I’m not currently earning I do all of this on a teeny tiny budget.
I’ll show you all the best ways to craft on a tight budget so you can still create a life you love.
I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
