Repurposed Fingerless Gloves
Simply trace a pattern using the intended recipient's hand, allowing a little extra room around the edges for comfort. Turn the sleeve of the sweater you are using inside out, place the pattern above the cuff (if the sleeve does not have a cuff, determine the size of cuff desired and place the pattern above the intended cuff).
Trace the pattern in chalk and sew along the chalk line between the fingers and thumb.
Cut the top of the thumb at the chalk line, and the space between the fingers and the thumb.
Turn the gloves inside out. I used a rather tight sleeve for this pair of gloves, hence the bunching between the fingers and thumb.
To reduce the bunching and create a more fluid and flexible seam, place the thumb at a greater angle to the body of the glove.
