Instructions

Right Glove

Start with stockinette stitch. Knit each finger separately, starting with the minimal quantity of sts. On middle, first, and ring fingers, make 18 sts; for the small finger – 14 sts. Then, divide them into one-piece work, connecting the sts between fingers. You should get 56 sts.

After knitting 4 cm of one-piece work, increase 1 st x 2 of stockinette stitch in every 2^nd row for the thumb from both sides. Make 1 circle row with this pattern and leave the sts.

Make thumb with 20 sts. After knitting 4.5 cm height, increase: make 2 sts from the 1^st and last sts in every 2^nd row. Make 1 more row and leave the sts. Include them in one-piece work with knit2tog. Make the main pattern on the central part of the back side, the remaining sts – with stockinette stitch.

Continue work, decreasing sts for the thumb in every even row. Total, 20 sts should be decreased. Make cuff due to the ornament on the remaining 56 sts. After 16 cm, turn to rib. After 3 cm, bind off the sts due to the ornament.
