Repairing a hole in cotton winter gloves by hand-sewing is a simple process that can be done with a few basic materials and tools. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Gather materials: You will need a needle, thread in a color that matches the gloves, a thimble (if you have one), and a piece of fabric in a matching color.
2. Prepare the hole: Cut a small piece of the matching fabric and place it over the hole on the inside of the glove. Make sure that the edges of the fabric are even with the edges of the hole.
3. Thread the needle: Cut a length of thread that is about twice the length of your arm and thread the needle. Knot the end of the thread.
4. Start sewing: Hold the needle and the end of the thread with one hand, and place the thimble on the other hand to protect your fingers. Begin sewing by inserting the needle through the fabric and the glove from the inside, then coming out on the outside. Make sure to keep the stitches tight, but not so tight that they pull the fabric.
5. Continue sewing: Continue sewing in this manner, going in and out of the fabric and the glove, until you have covered the entire hole. Make sure to stitch in a straight line and keep the stitches close together.
6. Finish the repair: When you reach the end of the hole, knot the thread and cut off any excess. Turn the gloves right side out and make sure that the repair is smooth and even.
7. Test the repair: Try on the gloves to make sure that the repair is secure and the hole is fully covered. If necessary, make any adjustments to the stitches.

With these simple steps, you should be able to repair a hole in your cotton winter gloves by hand-sewing. Good luck!
