Glommets

What are Glommets you ask? Glommets are a cross between gloves & mittens. They are great for anyone who works or plays in the outdoors during cold weather.
They are hand knit from 100% wool, so you can wash them in cold water only but no dryer or you will have a very small glommet when you are done ;)
When the flap is down you will have 2 layers of wool to keep your fingers very warm :)
The cuff by your wrist is aprox 3", it's enough to go past the cuff of most coats. It will help to stop the drafts from going up your sleeve.  :)
The first ones I made with a slit in the inside of the thumb. That way you could leave it in or out.
The rest so far all have the slit closed and the top of the thumb open. Either way your thumb will be warm :)



I'm making some for my husbands hunting buddies for Christmas. My son is the one wearing these to see how they fit. His glove size would be an X-large so there would fit almost anyone.
 Last year I made them wool sock which they loved. If I have time I will make them another pair.
