Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Keep your hands tech-ready, but still nice and toasty with fingerless gloves. This project takes you step-by-step through the process.

How to Make Your Pattern:

Step 1:

Draw two perpendicular lines on a piece of pattern paper. Label the vertical line “Length” and the horizontal line “Width”. We will call their intersection the apex.

Step 2:

You will use your hand to create your pattern and to find the following plot points.

Decide how long you would like your gloves. Our example is 5 in from the base of the hand. Therefore, we marked our point (A) 5 in from the apex on the vertical line.
To create the remaining plot points, place the base of your left hand at point (A). Mark point (B) on the length line at height of your first knuckle on your pinkie finger.
Mark point (C) at the second knuckle of your pointer finger.
Mark point (D) on the inside of your thumb ½ in from the top. Draw a line from (C) to (D) a long the edge of your pointer finger and thumb.
Mark point (E) on the outside or your thumb ½ in from the top.
Mark point (F) at the bottom of your hand.
Mark point (G) at the width of your wrist.

Step 3:

Connect points (A) to (B). Connect points (B) to (C). Connect points (D) and (E). Connect points (F) to (G).

Step 4:

Add ¼ in ease to sides of your pattern piece. This gives makes the fit less tight and allows your hand a greater range of movement.

Step 5:

Add a ¼ in seam allowance on sides (AB), (CD), and (GFE). This will become the final edge of your pattern. Cut along the outermost edge and cut 4 glove pieces out of fleece.

Step 6:

Cut Your Pieces Out:

Make sure to place the width of the pattern on the stretchy side of the fabric.

Step 7:

Start Sewing:
You should now have 4 gloved shaped pieces of fabric. Pin two glove pieces (right sides together) for the left glove and two together for the right glove. Leave openings at the top and bottom for your thumb, fingers, and wrist.

Step 8:

Sew at ¼ in seam.

Step 9:

Trim your seam allowance to 1/8 in. Flip right side out.

Step 10:

Add your own style with embroidery and enjoy!
