mittens

Fingerless hand warmers

Mittens are hand coverings with a single compartment for the four fingers and a separate one for the thumb, distinguishing them from gloves, which have individual finger slots.

Mittens keep hands warmer because fingers share heat: My mother always made us wear mittens in winter.

The word often suggests childhood or cozy warmth.
