CO the desired number of STS from the “Size” section above.

Wrist:

Row 1 (WS): *P*

Row 2 (RS): *K*

Repeat rows 1-2 until desired brim length, (My brim is 2″, so I knit for 4″)

Thumb Gusset (Clean Edge, optional):

Row 1 (WS): WYIF S1PW *P* WYIF S1PW

Row 2 (RS): K1TBL *K* K1TBL

Repeat rows 1-2 until desired length, (My gusset measures 3″, excluding the wrist)

Fingers:

Row 2 (RS): *K*

Repeat rows 1-2 until desired brim length, (My brim is 1″, so I knit for 2″)

BO in all knit stitches.

Sew the side edges together, at the “Wrist Double Brim” & “Finger Double Brim.”

Leave the “Thumb Gusset” open.

Double Brims:

Turn the glove inside out. Fold the CO edge over to meet the “Thumb Gusset” and then sew it to the inside, creating a double brim. Repeat for the bottom brim.

Weave in the ends.

Turn right-side out.

No blocking necessary.

I know many of you enjoy working from a paper copy of your knitting pattern that’s why I offer a printer-friendly PDF completely ad-free on Etsy, Ravelry or Brome Fields.

That way you can have lifetime access to it and download it to any device and view it from anywhere, without ads (and the pattern might not be around forever).

The ads on this website make it possible for me to offer the patterns for free, that way you can try it before you buy it. :)
