Materials: 300 yards of a sport or dk weight yarn. Size 2 needles: either a set of 5 double pointed needles or a circular needle for magic loop. I used magic loop, however the directions are written generically to allow for the use of double pointed needles. (It is assumed you are familiar with working with either double points or magic loop) Gauge 7 st per inch in Moss stitch CO Cast on M1LP make 1 left, purling it KKnit M1RK make 1 right, knitting it PPurl M1RP make 1 right, purling it M1LK make 1 left, knitting it BO Bind Off iliar with M1R and M1L http://www.knittinghelp.com has great video tutorial Moss stitch: Rows 1 and 2: K2, P2 around, Rows 3-4: P2, K2 around Ribbing: P2, K2 around on each row. To change the size, increase or decrease the cast on stitches by a multiple of4 that is also a multiple of4 when divided in half (48/2=24 or 40/2=20 or 56/2=28) CO 48 stitches and divide depending on the needles you are using, join to work in the round Rounds 1-6: Work 6 rows in Moss Stitch Rounds 7-30: Work 30 rows in Ribbing Rounds 31-36: Work 6 rows in Moss Stitch Left and gloves are worked the same. If you cannot hide the beginning of the round invisibly then “move” the beginning of the round of the right glove by working in moss stitch over half the stitches then follow the directions below.

(64 stitches total) Round 56: K2, P2, BO 20 stitches LOOSELY in pattern. (46 stitches total) Round 57: P2, K2, CO 2 stitches, work in moss stitch over the remainder of the round. (48 stitches total) Even though you “moved" the beginning of the round to work the thumb gusset for the right hand glove you probably noticed that the place where the moss stitch switched from row 2 to row 3 did not change. For the righ hand glove you will want to “move”' the beginning of the round back to the original beginning (the place where the moss stitch pattern moves from row 2 to row 3) Basically just count your rounds now from the beginning, you will not need to work across half the stitches. On the left glove the thumb gusset is worked over the first half of the stitches and the left glove the thumb gusset is worked over the last half of the stitches. Rounds 58-77: work 20 rows of moss stitch. (This should put you finishing on row 3 of the moss stitch pattern.) BO LOOSELY in pattern. Weave in ends.
