Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight, 100% wool
• Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) double-pointed needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches. Distribute the stitches evenly across 4 double-pointed needles (10 stitches per needle).
2. Join to Work in the Round: Carefully join the stitches to work in the round, making sure not to twist the stitches. This is crucial for a seamless glove.
3. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1 stitch, purl 1 stitch) for 10 rounds. This ribbing will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Begin Fern Motif Pattern:
   • Round 1: k2, p2, k4, p2, k2, p2, k4, p2, k2, p2, k4, p2, k2.
   • Round 2: k2, p2, k2, yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit 2 together), k2, p2, k2, yo, k2tog, k2, p2, k2, yo, k2tog, k2, p2, k2.
5. Continue Pattern: Repeat the fern motif pattern for a total of 20 rounds, maintaining the established stitch pattern.
6. Thumb Opening:
   • Knit 18 stitches.
   • Bind off 4 stitches (this creates the thumb opening).
   • Knit to the end of the round.
7. Rejoin for Thumb:
   • On the next round, knit 18 stitches.
   • Using the backward loop method, cast on 4 stitches to create the thumb gusset.
   • Knit to the end of the round.
8. Continue in Pattern: Work in the established fern motif pattern for an additional 10 rounds.
9. Finish with Ribbing: Work 5 rounds in 1x1 ribbing (k1, p1) to finish the top of the glove.
10. Bind Off: Bind off loosely to ensure the top of the glove is flexible.
11. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle for a clean finish.
