- Twisted ribbing in the round: *k1 through back loop, p1*
Right glove
Cast on 48 sts and divide them over four needles, 12 sts each. The beginning of round is between needles I and IV. Work reverse stockinette st for 4 rounds and then ribbing for 10 cm.
Knit 2 rounds, evenly decreasing 8 sts = 40 sts.
Work stockinette st in the round and begin the thumb gusset. Work needles I and II. On needle III k1, increase 1 st (= knit the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop). K3, increase 1 st, work to end of round. Work 2 rounds even, then repeat the increases, now with 5 sts between them. Continue in stockinette st, working the increases as established on every 3rd round 3 more times. There are 2 sts more between the increases after each time (5 increase rounds in total = half the number of sts on one needle, with the gusset now at the base of the thumb).
After the last increases, work 1 round. Work the next round up to the gusset. Leave the 13 gusset sts on hold. Cast on 3 sts at the gusset. Continue in stockinette st until the glove reaches the base of your little finger.
Now knit the little finger. Pick up 5 sts from the beginning of needle I (back), cast on 3 sts between the little finger and the ring finger, pick up 5 sts from the end of needle IV (palm) = 13 sts. Divide the sts over three needles and work stockinette st in the round until the glove almost covers your nail. Top decreases: at the end of each needle k2tog until 3 sts remain. Break yarn and pull it through the sts. Securely weave in.
Move the sts you left on hold onto the needles and pick up 3 sts from the base of the little finger. Work 3 rounds in stockinette st with all 33 sts.
Ring finger: pick up 4 sts from the back, cast on 3 sts between the ring finger and middle finger, pick up 5 sts from the palm and the 3 sts from the ring finger cast-on = 15 sts. Work like the little finger.
Middle finger: pick up 4 sts from the back, cast on 3 sts between the middle finger and index finger, pick up 5 sts from the palm and 3 sts from the base of the ring finger = 15 sts. Work as established.
Index finger: pick up the remaining 12 sts and 3 sts from the base of the middle finger = 15 sts.Work as established.
Thumb: divide the sts on hold over two needles and pick up 5 sts from the base of the thumb using a third needle = 18sts. Knit 1 round with all sts. On the 2nd round, k2tog at the picked-up sts at the thumb base. Knit the 3rd round. On the 4th round decrease 1 st as on round 2. Work stockinette st with the remaining 16 sts until the fabric covers half your thumb nail. Work the top decreases as established.
