claw pattern

step 20: make a pattern for claws

 

place your hand on the newspaper and spread out your fingers. draw a circle that covers your entire hand, then use the circle edge to draw a crab claw shape. the bottom of the pattern piece is made by measuring the length around your wrist, since that's how the claw attaches. make the rectangular part an inch or so longer than your wrist measurement.

 

step 21: cut out claws

 

fold the fleece unevenly in half longways, so that one side sticks out about 4" from the other. when you cut it out, this means you have one piece that's just the claw, and one piece that's the claw with a rectangular 4" wide cuff attached. sew all around the curved edges, leaving the wrist end of the claw open. make sure you flip the pattern piece over to do the 2nd claw so you have a set going one in each direction!
