Abstract
A construction method for pre-curved gloves and mittens which aids in the simplification, efficiency and repeatability of assembly. Panels of the gloves or mittens are marked, prior to assembly with lines which indicate where the gathering, darting or cut and sew reduction is to occur and how much material is to be taken in. In the cut and sew reduction the extra material between the marked lines is cut and removed prior to attachment of the lines.
