Materials: Clark's O.N.T. Knitting and Crochet Cotton, 2 balls.
A set of 5 double-pointed steel needles No. 14.

Gauge: 11 sts make 1 inch; 15 rnds make 1 inch.

Right Hand. Starting at cuff, cast on 72 sts on 3 needles. Join, being careful not to twist sts and work in ribbing of k 2, p 2, for 3 inches. Then work as follows: 1st rnd: K around to within last 3 sts, then p 1, k 1, p 1. 2nd rnd: K 1, * p 1, k 3. Repeat from * around to within last 3 sts, then p 1, and into next st: k 1, p 1, k 1 (thus 2 sts are increased in the center st), p 1. 3rd rnd: K around to within last 5 sts, then p 1, k 3, p 1. 4th rnd: * K 3, p 1. Repeat from * around to within last 5 sts, then p 1, k 3, p 1. 5th rnd: K around to within last 5 sts, then p 1, k 3, p 1. These last 4 rnds constitute the pattern. 6th rnd: Same as 2nd rnd, but working to within last 5 sts, then p 1, increase in next st, k 1, increase in next st, p 1. 7th rnd: Same as 3rd rnd, but working to within last 7 sts, then p 1, k 5, p 1. 8th rnd: Same as 4th rnd, but working to within last 7 sts, then (p 1, k 1) 3 times, p 1. 9th rnd: Same as 5th rnd, but working to within last 7 sts, then p 1, k 5, p 1. 10th rnd: Same as 2nd rnd, but working to within last 7 sts, then p 1, increase in next st, k 3, increase in next st, p 1. Hereafter continue in pattern, but making 2 additional sts between the increases on each increase rnd (thus increasing for thumb), until there are 23 sts between the p ribs. On next rnd, work in pattern around to within the 23 sts of thumb, then transfer these 23 sts on a safety pin (to be worked later for thumb), cast on 5 sts and complete rnd (76 sts in the rnd). Hereafter work in pattern until glove, when tried on, reaches to the base of your fingers. Put glove on and mark fingers by putting safety pin on palm and back of hand between each finger, having 21 sts for Forefinger, 20 sts for Middle Finger, 18 sts for Ring Finger and 17 sts for Little Finger. Place all sts (except sts for Forefinger) on stitch holder.

Forefinger. Place these 21 sts on 3 needles. Attach thread to sts on back side and work in stockinette st (k each rnd) around, casting on 4 sts where pin is (between Forefinger and Middle Finger, for stretch between fingers). Work in rnds straight until glove, when tried on, reaches ½ inch from finger tip. Then * k 3, k 2 together, repeat from * around. Work 1 rnd straight. Now ** k 1, k 2 together, repeat from ** until 6 sts remain. Then k 2 together until all sts are worked off. Break off, leaving a thread about 4 inches long to fasten on wrong side.

Middle Finger. Attach thread to sts of Middle Finger (on back side), k across, then pick up 3 sts of Forefinger, k across palm side, cast on 3 sts. Continue as for Forefinger.

Ring Finger. Work as for Middle Finger.

Little Finger. Work as for Forefinger.

Thumb. Transfer the 23 sts of Thumb on 2 needles, pick up 5 sts (with 3rd needle) around opening of Thumb and continue to work as for fingers, decreasing on underside of Thumb if necessary.

Left Hand. Work to correspond with Right Hand.
