I'm a big fan of fingerless gloves. I love the warmth along with the functionality, not to mention they look wicked cool! This is my first real instructable to please bear with me...
Materials needed:
•needle
•thread
•scissors
•ruler
•snazzy high socks
•basic knowledge of a blanket stitch
Step 1: Lay Out the Sock
Get your sock and lay it out. Smooth out any bumps to prevent an uneven cut
Step 2: Cut!
Cut at least one inch before the heel.
The cut part of the sock will now be the bottom on the fingerless glove. I like to keep this part raw without any seaming.

Step 3: Cut for Thumb
Cut a .75 slit starting 2 inches from the top of the sock.
Step 4: Seam Thumb Opening
I did a blanket stitch for the thumb seam. You can easily google help with this if you are unfamiliar with this stitch.
I stitched in about .25 inches from the cut. The fabric should roll in a bit to allow the stitch to hide the raw edge.
Step 5: Try On
You're done! Try it on and see how it fits.
