Easy to Sew Fingerless Gloves

A friend of mine sent a pair of over-the-knee stockings, and asked me use them to make a pair of fingerless gloves. The picture she sent of her vision showed a thumb piece (as opposed to a thumb hole), so I sat down to figure out how to go about creating these gloves. As it turns out, it's pretty darned easy. Here's how I made the gloves:

Step 1:

Cut the toe section off of the socks. Depending on the length of the stockings, you may have enough for 2 pair as I did with these.  I'm using the tops of the socks for this pair -- they're about 10" long.

great job its way better than i can do

im going to use this for my bracer padding , can i make 1 with my pinky coverd?

Try this: cut the entire piece a little bit longer so that everything covers your pinky.

Sew a backwards check mark (like you would to create the thumb piece) making the smaller line of it end where you want the larger center piece (the part that will cover the other 3 fingers).

Cut between the pinky piece, and larger piece in the same way as you would the thumb piece.

Cut off the center piece (the piece that will cover the other 3 fingers) just above the short side of that backwards check.

Stitch the pinky section closed at the top (you can either cut it to a rounded shape before or after your sew it closed).

Hope this makes sense.

a bit off . can i hand sow it ?

[deChez]

sure...you can hand sew the entire thing if that works better for you. Best way would be to baste those "check marks" in, then cut, then stitch everything closed by hand with a blanket stitch, or smaller stitches.
