Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Stitch holder: For thumb stitches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the long tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1) for 10 rows. This creates a snug cuff for your gloves. Remember to keep your tension consistent.
3. Begin Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, P2, K4, P2, K4, P2, K4, P2, K4, P2, K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): P2, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P2.
4. Continue Pattern: Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 20 rows. This will form the textured body of the glove.
5. Shape Thumb Gusset:
   • Row 21 (Right Side): K2, P2, M1 (make one stitch), K1, M1, P2, K4, P2, K4, P2, K4, P2, K2.
   • Row 22 (Wrong Side): P2, K2, P3, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P2.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue to increase the thumb gusset every right side row for 3 more times, until you have 48 stitches on your needle.
7. Place Thumb Stitches: Place the thumb stitches on a stitch holder. This keeps them safe while you finish the glove body.
8. Continue in Pattern: Work in the established pattern for 10 more rows. This will ensure the glove fits comfortably around your hand.
9. Finish Body: Work in 1x1 ribbing for 5 rows to finish the top of the glove. This will match the cuff and provide a nice finish.
10. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.
11. Thumb:
    • Pick up the stitches from the stitch holder for the thumb.
    • Work in stockinette stitch (knit every row) for 6 rows.
    • Bind off loosely.
12. Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. Ensure all loose ends are secured to maintain the integrity of your gloves.
