Instructions:

Right Glove

1. Cast On: CO 40 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method onto three double-pointed needles, distributing evenly (10 stitches on each of the first two needles, and 20 stitches on the third needle).
2. Join in the Round: Being careful not to twist your stitches, join to work in the round. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Cuff: Knit 1, Purl 1 ribbing for 2 inches to form the cuff.
4. Body of the Glove: Knit every round until the piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Thumb Gusset:
   1. On the next round, knit 20 stitches, place a marker, CO 2 stitches, then knit the remaining 18 stitches. (You now have 42 stitches total)
   2. On the next round, knit to the marker, increase by knitting into the front and back of the next 2 stitches (this is your thumb gusset), knit to the end of the round.
   3. Repeat the last increase round until you have 10 thumb gusset stitches (total of 46 stitches).
   4. Once you have 10 stitches in the gusset, knit 12 stitches, place a marker, and then place the next 10 stitches on a holder or scrap yarn for the thumb.
   5. Continue knitting until the glove measures 7 inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Finishing the Glove:
   1. Now, you’ll start the fingers. Knit to the marker, CO 2 stitches, and then knit to the end of the round (48 stitches total).
   2. On the next round, knit to the marker, K2tog, and then knit to the end of the round.
   3. Repeat the last round until you have 28 stitches left.
   4. On the last round, K2tog around. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and thread it through the remaining stitches. Pull tight and secure.
7. Thumb:
   1. Remove the 10 stitches from the holder, place them back on the needles. Pick up 2 stitches on each side of the gap (total 14 stitches).
   2. Knit in the round for 2 inches. On the last round, K2tog around. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and pull tight through remaining stitches. Secure.
