Knitted Gloves: Man's Size

-
Knitted gloves: Worked in plain knitting throughout, except for the ribbing
at the wrist, this is the easiest type of glove to make.
Materials -
- 4 ozs. Beehive Double Knitting Wool.
- Four no.13 knitting needles.
THE RIGHT HAND
Cast on 56 stitches, 16 on the first needle and 20 on each of the second and
third.
Work, in rib of K.2 and P.2, for 40 rounds.
The remainder of the glove is worked in plain knitting, with the following
shaping:-
1st round - P.1, increase (by knitting through one of the loops from the row
beneath) and knit the next stitch, increase again and knit the following stitch,
P.1, knit the remaining stitches of the round. The purled stitches mark the
outside of the gusset for the thumb.
*Work 2 rounds without shaping, but purling the stitches that were purled previously.
4th round - P.1, increase, knit to the stitch before the next purled stitch,
increase and knit the next stitch, P.1, knit the remaining stitches of the round.
Repeat from * until there are 20 stitches between the 2 purled stitches. In
the next round, K.1, slip the 20 thumb stitches on to a thread and leave them,
cast on 4 stitches and continue round in plain knitting. Work 29 more rounds
without shaping, then divide the stitches for the fingers of the knitted gloves.
1st Finger
Knit the first 9 stitches of the round (putting all but the last 7 stitches
on to a thread and leaving them for the other fingers), cast on 2 stitches after
the first 9 stitches, knit plain the last 7 stitches.
Dividing the stitches on to 3 needles, knit 36 rounds. Then, knitting each
2 stitches together until only or 4 remain, run a thread through them and fasten
off securely.
2nd Finger
Knit the next 7 inches of the round, cast on 2 stitches, knit the last 7 stitches
of the round and knit up 2 stitches at the base of the 1st finger.
Dividing the stitches on to 3 needles, knit 39 rounds in plain knitting and
finish off like the 1st finger.
3rd Finger
Knit the next 7 stitches of the round, cast on 2 stitches, knit the last 7
stitches of the round and knit up 2 stitches at the base of the 2nd finger.
Knit 36 rounds and finish off as before.
4th Finger
Knit the remaining stitches and knit up 2 stitches at the base of the 3rd
finger. Knit 27 rounds and finish off as before.
Thumb
Knit the 20 stitches and knit up 4 stitches at the opening of the hand. Decrease
twice (over the knitted up stitches) in each of the next 2 rounds. Knit 29 rounds
on the remaining stitches and finish off in the same manner as for the fingers.
Work the left-hand glove like the right-hand until the division for the fingers
is reached. Then, for the first finger, knit the first 13 stitches of the round
(putting all but the last 3 stitches on to a thread and leaving them for the
other fingers), cast on 2 stitches after the first 13 stitches and knit the
last 3 stitches. Finish the remainder of the glove like the first of the knitted
gloves pattern.
