Sizes Small, Medium and Large

LEFT HAND … Using the double-pointed needles, cast on loosely 36 sts for small size; 38 sts for medium size; 40 sts for large size. Divide sts on 3 needles and join, being careful not to twist. Work around in ribbing of k 1, p 1 for 3 inches. Now work in stockinette stitch (k each rnd) for 3 rnds. Then start shaping for thumb as follows: 1st rnd: P 1, inc. 1 st in next st, k 1, inc. 1 st in next st, p 1, k around. 2nd and 3rd rnds: P 1, k 5, p 1, k around. 4th rnd: P 1, inc. in next st, k 3, inc. in next st, p 1, k around. 5th and 6th rnds: P 1, k 7, p 1, k around. 7th rnd: P 1, inc. in next st, k 5, inc. in next st, p 1, k around. Continue thus, increasing 2 sts in thumb gore every 3rd rnd, until there are 11 sts between the 2 p-ribs for small size; 13 sts for medium size, or 15 sts for large size. Next rnd: P 1, slip the thumb sts onto a safety pin to be worked later; cast on 5 sts, k to complete rnd (38 sts on needle for small size; 40 sts for medium size, or 42 sts for large size). Discontinue p-ribs and work around in stockinette stitch, until glove, when tried on, reaches to the base of the fingers (about 1½ inches for small size; 1¾ inches for medium size, or 2 inches for large size). Put glove on. Mark fingers by putting safety pin on palm and back of hand between each finger, having 11 sts for forefinger, 10 sts for middle finger, 8 sts for ring finger and 9 sts for little finger for small size; (1 st more for forefinger and ring finger for medium size, or 1 st more for each finger for large size). When odd number of sts is required for a finger, always have the larger number of sts on the back of the hand with 1 st less on the palm. K around to where the sts are marked off for the little finger, k the sts for the little finger and take the remaining sts off on a strand of yarn to be worked later.

Then * k 1, k 2 tog. Repeat from * around. Work 1 rnd straight. Next rnd: K 2 tog. around. Break yarn, leaving a 6-inch end. Thread this end into needle and run through remaining sts. Draw tight and darn in end to reinforce tip.
