Upcycled Sweater Socks

I saw this cute winter idea on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot. Basically, I cut the sleeves off my too-small sweater and used them for socks in my boots. If you have any old sweaters, this is a great way to upcycle them. I think I can actually use the rest of the sweater for something else, so I will keep you posted on that.

Materials:
-old sweater
-scissors

1. Lay the sweater out on a flat and even surface.


2. Cut the length of sleeve you want for your socks. I have mostly ankle boots--even for my winter boots--so I didn't really need to make them long at all. I cut where the ribbing stopped on the sleeve.



3. Slip on over your pants, and voilĂ ! You can fold them down, stretch them out, or whatever you want to do. Makes a nice leg or arm warmer, too!
