  Step 1

  Draw around your hand. Make it nice and snug.

• 

  Step 2

  Now add a seam allowance. Wool is pretty bulky so you need to make room for that, about half an inch should do nicely.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut 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 4

  Draw 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 5

  Sew along your line using a small tight stitch. I went over it a couple of times just to be sure.

• 

  Step 6

  Try them on for size and make adjustments.

• 

  Step 7

  NOW cut them out but still leave a hefty fraying zone around your stitch.

• 

  Step 8

  To finish off your gloves and make sure they are never going to fray add a zig zag stitch around your straight stitch.

• 

  Step 9

  Turn them inside out and admire your work! Yay!

• 

  Step 10

  Now cut out your letter templates and place them on your gloves.

• 

  Step 11

  Cut your felt into letter and hand sew on.

  Taa-daaa! You're going to be the best taxi hailer in all the world!
