From the retailer
These Kids alpaca gloves are hand knitted HOODED fingerless alpaca gloves (glove/mitten = ("Glitten") ) from Bolivia. The hood is attached but can flip back out of the way. Therefore the four fingers are fingerless but the hood can cover them. The thumb is not fingerless but you can poke it out from a knitted slot opening at the thumb joint to get your thumb out. Notice the gray glitten in the picture with the hood pulled over the fingers. This uniquely functional and well made Deluxe Hand Knit Hooded Alpaca Gloves ("Glittens") for Kids is one of our hottest sellers. This knit glove has a good range of fit so it will fit most kids from ages 5-8 years of age. Sizing chart .
