Become the best taxi hailer in town!
The other day I found some amazing Kate Spade gloves with Taxi written on the palms. They're pretty awesome but, being Kate Spade they were also pretty expensive; about £50 and then if I were to add postage to Britain on top of that I was looking at a pricey pair of gloves. But I loved them!!! So I decided to make some for myself and they turned out awesome. I wasn't sure how these would hold up or whether they would actually be warm but I've been trialling them for a week or so (that's right I quality test!) and they're great. I highly recommend them!

You Will Need
-
Step 1Draw around your hand. Make it nice and snug.
-
Step 2Now add a seam allowance. Wool is pretty bulky so you need to make room for that, about half an inch should do nicely.
-
Step 3Cut out two of you template and lay them on you jumper using the edge as your base. The front of my jumper had a cable knit so placement was really the key other wise one glove would've had more cable than the other. NIGHTMARE! However if you've been sensible and just bought a plain jumper just whack em on there.
-
Step 4Draw around you template using sharpie.
DO NOT CUT OUT YOUR PATTERN PIECES! Wool is annoying and the minute you cut it it will just unravel and you will be left with strands of wool.
-
Step 5Sew along your line using a small tight stitch. I went over it a couple of times just to be sure.
-
Step 6Try them on for size and make adjustments.
-
Step 7NOW cut them out but still leave a hefty fraying zone around your stitch.
-
Step 8To finish off your gloves and make sure they are never going to fray add a zig zag stitch around your straight stitch.
-
Step 9Turn them inside out and admire your work! Yay!
-
Step 10Now cut out your letter templates and place them on your gloves.
-
Step 11Cut your felt into letter and hand sew on.
Taa-daaa! You're going to be the best taxi hailer in all the world!
