Directions
Make 2 gloves as follows:
Using F hook for ribbing, leave a long tail and ch 15.
Row 1
Sc in 3rd ch from hook and in ea st down to the end. (13 Sc)
Row 2-42
Ch 1, turn. Working in BLO, Sc in ea st across.
Length is approx. 6-1/4 inches long.
Leave yarn attached and just slip hook out of last st so you can weave closed the cuff.
Using the long tail from the beginning row, weave closed the cuff by joining row 1 to row 42.
Rnd 1
Slip the F hook back into last st of row 42. Now working into both loops, Sc evenly along end sts of cuff. (Approx. 41 Sc) Don’t join at end of round but just continue working in the round without joining or turning as you work the body of the glove.

Using G hook now, Sc in ea st of rnd.
Rnd 25 ( Thumb opening)
Ch 10, sk 8 sts, and Sc in ea st around back to the chain for the thumb.
Rnd 26
Sc around the chain for the thumb evenly (approx 12 sts) and Sc in ea remaining st of rnd.
Rnd 27-42
Sc in ea st. On final rnd, end with Sc in ea st until the last 3 sts. Work Sl St in the last 3 sts and use tail to weave under to end with a smooth edge.
Tip: I worked the last several rounds very tightly so the finger opening was snugger on my gloves.

Attach yarn at right hand side of V corner of the thumb opening. Using the G hook, Sc evenly around the thumb opening. Don’t join or turn.
Rnd 2-4
