I have a hard time finding little things to make for boys so I came up with these. My son doesn’t like mittens and he isn’t thrilled about gloves so I designed these
to keep him semi-warm. He thinks they are Ninja gloves and won’t go outside without them.
They only take about an hour, if you are fast, and 2 hours if you have kids, hehehehe.
