Part 1

Creating the Glove Pattern

Trace the outline of your hand onto a piece of paper.

Use a piece of paper that is long enough to create the size glove you want. Press your non-dominant hand on the paper with your fingers spread apart. For example, use your right hand if you are left-handed. Hold a pen or pencil in your dominant hand and use it to trace around your other hand. [1] X Research source

Part 2

Finishing the Glove

Cut off the excess fabric 1 ⁄ 4 in (0.64 cm) from the stitches.

After you finish sewing, raise the presser foot and pull the fabric away from the sewing machine. Snip the thread with a pair of scissors. Then, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut around the outside of the stitches and remove the excess fabric. Cut about 1 ⁄ 4 in (0.64 cm) from the stitches and across the line at the bottom of the glove. [12] X Research source
