Begin Knitting
These gloves are knit beginning with the finger cuff and knitting
to the wrist.
Cast on 64 stitches and join in the round. Work 2X2 ribbing for
three inches.
Switch to pattern stitch and work 2 full repeats of the pattern
stitch plus one row (17 rows).
Continuing to work the pattern stitch throughout, place the
waste yarn for the thumb on the next round:
Purl 2, drop working yarn, and purl the next 7 stitches onto the
middle of the piece of waste yarn. Slide the waste yarn stitches
one at a time back to the left hand needle. Tuck the ends of the
waste yarn inside the glove and pick up the working yarn.
Using the working yarn, purl 7, purl 2, knit 1 tbl and continue in
pattern stitch to the end of the round.

Next round: purl 1, pm, purl 9, pm, continue in pattern as
established to the end of the round.
From this point you will work the stitches between the markers
as purl stitches and the rest in pattern. Keep track of the
pattern row you are on as you work the decrease rounds.
Decrease round 1: purl 1, slip marker, purl 2 together, purl 5,
purl 2 together, slip marker, work in pattern to end.
Work one round in pattern, purling between the markers.
Decrease round 2: purl 1, slip marker, purl 2 together, purl 3,
purl 2 together, slip marker, work in pattern to end.
Work one round in pattern, purling between the markers.
Decrease round 3: purl 1, slip marker, purl 2 together, purl 1,
purl 2 together, slip marker, work in pattern to end.
Work one round in pattern, purling between the markers and
removing the markers as you come to them.
Decrease Round 4: purl 1, purl 2 together, purl 2 together, knit
1 tbl, continue in pattern as established to end.
The decreasing is now finished and you will work in pattern
until a total of 4 repeats (32 rows) have been knit.
Work row 1-6 of the pattern stitch.
Switch to 2X2 Rib and work for 2 inches or desired depth of
cuff. Copyright 2009 Judy Marples
Bind off loosely in order for the cuff to go over your hand.
Check before cutting your yarn. Use a larger needle if needed,
to bind off.
Thumb: Carefully remove the waste yarn by pulling it out one stitch at a time. Place the open stitches onto your needles
(three DPNs, 2 circs or magic loop) You should have 7 stitches
above the opening and seven below. Changing needles as
needed purl across 7 stitches, and pick up and purl one stitch
between the last stitch and the next stitch. Purl across the next
7 stitches and pick up and purl 1 stitch between the last stitch
knit and the first stitch of the round. You should now have 16
stitches in total for your thumb, seven above the opening, 7
below the opening and 1 at each end.
Continue purling in the round until your thumb is the desired
length. (You can try it on). Bind off loosely knit wise.
Weave in your tails, being extra careful to the hide the tail at
the finger end of the glove. Remember you will be folding back
this cuff.
Knit another glove the same. The thumb can go in the same
place, these gloves can be worn on either hand.

Sizing: I have found that this glove fits a variety of hand sizes. But if you do wish to adjust the sizing you can change
the stitch count by multiples of 4 stitches. For example, you
could use 56, 60, 68 stitches instead of 64. You can also adjust
the length by doing more or less inches of ribbing at either end.
In most cases the thumb stitches should not need to be
adjusted. Place 7 stitches on waste yarn as instructed.
