One glove finished & it seems to fit well, but I hate how the top edge flares out. I'm hoping it shrinks in when I wash them... If not... Maybe I can felt it a bit or something..? No thumb hole yet. I've no clue what I'm doing with that so leaving it til both gloves are ready. #knitsky #knitting

For fingerless mitts, I always decrease for a couple of rounds before binding off to mitigate that flair. In my exp, that will only get worse with use. I make a lot of mitts and wear them daily (school bus driver), and I don't like the flair either.

You could try a row of crochet round the top to pull it in. Never seen it get to this far without a thumb hole though.
