Note: When making fingers, label each finger as you complete it.

Glove [make 2]

Thumb
Loosely CO 14[16, 18] sts. Distribute evenly between needles and join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist.

Work in stockinette st until work measures 0.75[1, 1.25] inches, or desired length. Break yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and place all sts on waste yarn.

Make a note of how many rows you have worked, so that the second glove may be worked exactly the same way.

Little Finger
Loosely CO 10[12, 14] sts. Work as for thumb.

Ring Finger and Middle Finger
Loosely CO 12[14, 16] sts. Work as for thumb.

Index Finger
Loosely CO 12[14, 16] sts. Work as for thumb; do not break yarn. Divide sts evenly between 2 needles.

Join Fingers
[see pics in FINISHING below]

Arrange fingers on needles as follows:

Place first 6[7, 8] sts of ring and middle fingers and first 5[6, 7] sts of little finger on one needle with litle finger at end; place remaining sts of these fingers on a second needle, as shown.

Note: When working Joining Round, pull yarn tightly when working first and last sts of each finger, to avoid forming gaps. Do not weave in yarn tails from separate fingers as you go; instead, leave these until the finishing stage, when they can be used to close the gaps between the fingers.

Joining Round: Using one needle, k first 4[5, 6] sts of index finger, ssk, k first 2 sts of middle finger together, k2[3, 4], ssk, k first 2 sts of ring finger together, k2[3, 4], ssk, k first 2 sts of little finger together, k3[4, 5]; using second needle, k next 3[4, 5] sts of little finger, ssk, k first 2 sts of ring finger together, k2[3, 4], ssk, k first 2 sts of middle finger together, k2[3, 4], ssk, k first 2 sts of index finger together, k4[5, 6]. 34[42, 50] sts. You are at the beginning of the round; place a safety pin or other marker here to indicate this.

When working next round, work stitches onto 3 or 4 needles, to make the work less awkward. Continue in stockinette st until work measures 1.25[1.75, 2.25] inches from join. Make a note of how many rows you have worked, so that the second glove may be worked exactly the same way.

Join Thumb
Work one more round, dividing sts between 2 needles, so that they are arranged as they were for the joining round; work ssk over last 2 sts. 17[21, 25] sts on first needle, 16[20, 24] sts on second needle.

Place thumb sts on 2 needles, placing 7[8, 9] sts on each needle.

Continuing with second needle of last round (after ssk), place stitch marker, k first 2 sts of thumb together, k next 5[6, 7] sts of thumb; using another needle, k next 5[6, 7] sts of thumb, ssk, place stitch marker, k first 2 sts of next hand round together, k to end of needle. 44[54, 64] sts.

K the 22[27, 32] sts from next needle onto 2 needles, dividing sts evenly. Place safety pin at this point (center of thumb) to indicate beginning of round.

Thumb Gusset
Divide sts between needles as desired when working next round.

K 2 rounds.

Next Round: K to 2 sts before first marker, k2tog, k to second marker, ssk, k to end.

Repeat these 3 rounds 4[5, 6] times more, removing markers on last round. 34[42, 50] sts.
