Measure each distance and record the indicators so as not to confuse anything.

Sample

According to the main pattern of the canvas, and in this case - This is a stockinette stitch, knit a small fabric. Be sure to knit it with knitting needles, which will then be used to make the gloves themselves. Knit such a small square and calculate the knitting density to it. To correctly calculate the knitting density, you just need to use a ruler, and first place it horizontally on the pattern, and count the number of loops.

Then place it on a vertical line and also count the number of loops. Two such numbers will make up the knitting density. Next, calculate the number of loops for each size.

Important! When calculating loops for the loop circumference, you need to select a set such that it is a multiple of 4. If this does not work, then it is better to use a smaller number.

Rubber

For the elastic, cast on the number of loops around the circumference and knit ribbing 1*1 with knitting needles in circular rows. It is more convenient to perform this knitting on 5 knitting needles. Knit the required length of elastic and then change the pattern and move on to the next step in knitting.

The basis

Knit the required number of loops along the distance of the base of the thumb. Next you will need to select the loops for the thumb and the loops for the palm.

Palm

Knit the required distance along the palm in simple circular rows without adding or decreasing stitches. And for now, move these loops aside.

Thumb

Distribute the stitches for the thumb on the knitting needles and knit the required number of stitches along the height of the thumb. For the tip of the thumb decrease, make 2 loops on each side in each row. Gather the remaining loops into one and tighten with a knot.

Knitting 4 fingers

Next, return to 4 fingers again and distribute the loops for 4 fingers. Then knit each finger, and between the fingers make an additional set of loops from the knitted fabric so that there are no holes left. Knit each finger at the desired height, and close the loops in the same way as the thumb.
