How Do You Make Fingerless Gloves Out Of Fabric?
Keep your hands and arms warm and fingers free with fingerless gloves. Whether used for warmth to keep your hands and wrists limber when typing or crafting or used as a fashionable accessory, fingerless gloves may be worn any time of year. Though often knit or crochet, you can make these simple tubes–also called wristlets, wrist warmers or gauntlets–with fabric that has a bit of stretch. You can recycle the fabric from a t-shirt to make fingerless gloves like those designed by Megan Nicolay for her book “Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt.” By using recycled fabric the gloves will cost your nothing but your time. Measure across the widest part of your hand and from the knuckle straight down to the point on your arm you want the gloves to end. They can just cover the hand, go to the forearm, elbow, or be “opera” length, extending nearly to the shoulder. Measure the distance between the top of your knuckles and the beginning of your thumb, and the distance across your thumb.
