Fold the knitting in half with the right side facing. Align the edges and stitch the side seam closed using left over wool and a darning needle. Allow a 5 cm opening for the thumb. The positioning of the thumb opening starts just below the finger ribbing. Hide any threads in the knitting to finish off the glove. Turn right side out to complete. Repeat to make a second glove.
