Abstract: A garment and a hand covering are disclosed which permit easy insertion of a child's body and of a hand, respectively, while preserving a limb or wrist opening when in the closed position. The garment includes a layer of covering material which has a neck opening and a body insertion opening. Along the sides of the body insertion opening, hook and loop type adhesive strips are mounted but these strips oppose each other along only part of the length of the opening, so that at least two limb openings are also defined along the body insertion opening at non-adhering portions. Arms or feet may extend through these limb openings. The hand covering according to the invention, which may be a mitten, has an extended opening extending from the wrist opening and a flap mounted on one side of the extended opening. A hook and loop type adhesive strip mounted on the inner surface of the flap contacts a similar strip mounted on the outer surface of the material to close the mitten when the hand is inserted.
