Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green and moss
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as you will need to work them comfortably.
2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 2 inches. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
3. Switch to Stockinette Stitch: After completing the ribbing, switch to stockinette stitch (knit every row). This will form the main body of the glove.
4. Begin Leaf Motif:
   • Row 1: Knit 2, then repeat the following sequence: yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog), knit 6. Continue this until you have 2 stitches left, then knit 2.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches.
   • Row 3: Knit 3, then repeat the sequence: yo, k2tog, knit 5. Continue this until you have 3 stitches left, then knit 3.
5. Continue Pattern: Repeat the leaf motif rows until the piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for a uniform look.
6. Create Thumb Hole:
   • Bind off 4 stitches to create the thumb hole.
   • Continue working in pattern until the end of the row.
   • On the next row, cast on 4 stitches over the bound-off stitches to re-establish the stitch count.
7. Finish the Glove: Continue in pattern until the piece measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.
8. Final Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing for an additional 2 inches to create the top cuff of the glove.
9. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the top of the glove is comfortable.
10. Seaming: Seam the sides of the glove, leaving the thumb hole open for movement. You can use a whip stitch or mattress stitch for a neat finish.
