•basic knowledge of a blanket stitch


Lay Out the Sock

Get your sock and lay it out. Smooth out any bumps to prevent an uneven cut

Cut!

Cut at least one inch before the heel.

The cut part of the sock will now be the bottom on the fingerless glove. I like to keep this part raw without any seaming.

Cut for Thumb

Cut a .75 slit starting 2 inches from the top of the sock.

I did a blanket stitch for the thumb seam. You can easily google help with this if you are unfamiliar with this stitch.

I stitched in about .25 inches from the cut. The fabric should roll in a bit to allow the stitch to hide the raw edge.
