Shrinking your sweaters isn't always a bad thing, especially when it results in some fingerless gloves. In addition to the tools and materials listed above, you'll also need access to a washer and dryer.

Fold the bracelet down. To create a hole for your thumb, cut a 1-inch horizontal slit through both sleeve layers, about 2 inches below the top of the cuff. Do this for both sleeves. Try them out to make sure the thumb hole is the correct size and is positioned correctly.
