With the cool air coming in and the mornings just a bit chilly when the kids are out and about going to school, having a pair of fingerless gloves is ‘handy’. Â They don’t take up a lot of space, {can easily be stuffed into pockets}, they leave fingers open so they can zip coats, find rocks, write in classe or whatever as they go about thier day.
Making a fingerless gloves pattern is super easy. Â Doesn’t take much- except having them sit still just long enough to trace their hands.
Make Fingerless Gloves!
Materials needed:
- paper/pencil
- fleece –pick up a remnant at the fabric store. Â Doesn’t take much to make these
Steps to make your fingerless gloves:
1) Â Trace hand on paper- make any adjustments for length around the fingers and how far to go on the wrist. Â Make them spread their thumb out just a bit so you can draw the curve.
2) Â Cut out on the drawn line
3) Â Pin paper template on fabric- make sure the stretch of the fleece is going side to side {or from the thumb to the pinky}
4) Â Sew the two sides just past the paper
5) Â Turn right sides out and try on
Making these is a lot of fun, and if your kids have friends that are about the same size, make a few more to have on hand for little presents.
