Working The Gloves

Cast on 56 sts on size 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, knit in the round in rib pattern = alternately 2 knit, 2 purl.

After 12 cm, knit 1 row in knit stitches, decreasing evenly to 47 sts remaining on needles. Then continue knitting in the round in stockinette stitch.

After 3 cm, start increases for the thumb: from the beginning of the round, knit 22 sts, increase 1 st, knit 4 sts, and increase 1 st = 6 sts for the thumb gusset, knit to the end of the round. Repeat increases every 4th round = each increase round adds 2 sts for the gusset. After a total of 12 sts have been added for the gusset, work 3 more rows after the last increase round, then transfer these 12 gusset sts to a scrap yarn, cast on 2 new sts above the gusset, and continue knitting in the round on all 45 sts.

After 4.5 cm above the cast-on sts over the gusset, start knitting the fingers.
