How to say "mitt" in Japanese

  nounThe borrowed word for 'mitt'. It is most at home in sports, typically for the fingerless, heavily padded mitt worn by a baseball catcher rather than a glove with separate fingers.

  Cotton mittens will prevent the baby from scratching his own face.
• 手袋てぶくろJLPT N4approx.Common
  nounThe everyday word for a hand covering. Its range takes in gloves with fingers as well as mittens and mitts, so for an ordinary winter mitt this is the word you want.
  この手袋てぶくろは両方りょうほうがそろっていない。↗

  Their gloves are not in pairs.
• グローブCommon
  nounThe loanword for 'glove', used above all in sports. Its sense takes in mitts as well, so in baseball both a fielder's glove and a catcher's mitt can be called this.
