I love this pattern because lengthy decreasing is not needed, just a sudden increase to allow room for the thumb, and the ribbing shapes itself to your hand!
Needles: a set of 4 dpn, US size 5
Yarn: thin worsted weight, approx. 80 yards (I used handspun)
Gauge: 32 rows and 20 stitches is 4' square in 2x2 ribbing
Notions: 1 stitch marker

Pattern:
**Note: Knitting begins at the fingers and works down to the cuff.
Fingerless Gloves (make 2)
-CO 36 sts and divide evenly on three needles. Place marker. Join, being careful not to twist.
-Work in k2 p2 ribbing until the piece measures 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) or desired length. This should fit comfortably from mid palm up to fingers.
-At the end of the next row, BO 4 sts You now have 32 sts.
-At the end of the next row, CO 8 sts. You now have 40 sts.
-Cont in 2x2 ribbing until work from BO/CO section is approx 4 inches (10 cm) or enough length to cover palm and go down the wrist.
-BO all stitches.
I finished the second super secret project, and am on a great start on the third. School is still crazy, so please bear with me!
