ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a glove pattern design having back finger portions including two folds or tucks on each finger excluding the thumb. This pattern enables the glove to have a more natural finger curvature which is more comfortable to the wearer than the single fold or tuck pattern of the prior art. Furthermore, the tucks are formed differently from the prior art, by making V-shaped cuts into both opposing sides of the back finger parts where the tucks will be located. The tucks are secured by stitching where the V-shaped cuts are made, preferably along the length of the tuck from end to end. This additional step which is also novel in the prior art enables the tuck to be created in the glove at an angle that corresponds to the more natural curvature of the fingers in a relaxed position. This curving of the fingers provides the articulation necessary to have the glove conform to the natural position of the hand.
