Protect Your Hands - Summer Hand Covers

While out and about, I notice people conscientiously using sun protection - wearing hats, with neck, arms, legs and feet covered, but their hands are naked, uncovered, waving in the sunshine.

Cancer survivors and those with Lymphedema should protect their skin from sun exposure. Skin cancers are common second cancers in all races and colors, especially for those treated with radiation therapy. Peripheral neuropathy and arthritis may be helped by wearing gloves or fingerless mitts.

These are simple and easy to make.
Can be adjusted for any size hand with attention to swelling.
