The pattern of one glove consists of five parts. One is the outside of the glove and the inside with a thumb hole (from fingers to wrist). Three parts are finger wedges. The fifth part is the thumb.
When all the details of the pattern are ready, they should be sewn together.
First, the thumb is sewn from the wrong side. At the same time, you should not forget to retreat one and a half centimeters from the edge of the seam (so that the seam does not open later).
The next stage of work - finger wedges are sewn to the patterns of the inner part and the outer part of the glove. The most important thing is to carefully sew on the wedges at the base of the fingers (otherwise a hole may form there). Further, the inner and outer parts are sewn together.
Most of the work is done. It remains only to sew the finished thumb to the main hole in the inside of the glove.
