Instructions

Cast on 15 sts and make relief pattern. The first and last sts – selvedge sts. After 52 rows (= 21 cm) bind off the sts. Fold the obtained stripe in half and sew along the short side. Lift 52 sts with 4 knitting needles and turn to knitting around. Pay attention, that relief stripe is located on 2 needles – 7 sts on the 1^st needle and 6 sts on the 2^nd needle. Work due to the following description: 1^st needle – 3 knit sts, 7 sts due to the scheme; 2^nd needle – 6 sts due to the scheme, 7 knit sts; 3^rd needle – 13 knit sts; 4^th needle – 13 knit sts. Make decreases x 4 times for narrowing: knit2tof in every 8^th row once – the first 2 sts for the 1^st and 3^rd needles and the last 2 sts for the 2^nd and 4^th needles.

In 22 rows (= 9 cm) from the row with the last decrease, increase 1 st x 4 in the beginning of the 1^st and in the end of the 4^th needles for the thumb, 1 st x 3 in every 3^rd row. Leave 14 sts for the thumb, place them on 2 pins – 7 sts on each pin. Knit the rest sts. After making 5 rows (= 2 cm) from the sts of the thumb, leave 8 sts for the small finger. In the next row, leave 8 sts for the ring finger. In the next row – 10 sts for the middle finger. In the next row – 10 sts for the first finger. Knit each finger on 3 needles. Make increase from transversal thread: 2 sts for small finger, 4 sts for ring finger, 2 sts for the first and middle fingers. Make the needed height for each finger – 16 rows for the small finger, 19 rows – for the first and ring fingers, 21 rows – for the middle finger, 15 rows for the thumb.
