Notes

No idea why I’m on such a glove/mitten kick but yeah. Probably would go easier if I actually had a pattern instead of doing this on the fly. Yep, ended up with some finger-width related weirdness that fortunately can easily be fixed with some creative stitch pick up and increases at the finger base. Whew.

With US0, CO 60 with long tail ribbed cast on.
Working flat for two rounds, k1, p1.
Join in round. Knit 1/1 rib for 25 rounds.
Sl1, p1.
K
Switch to US1
Knit 7 rounds
M1L, knit, M1R with 4sts between markers, knit 2 rnds, repeat until 18 sts between markers.
CO 4, move thumb to waste yarn. Counting CO round as 1, on round 11, move 12 sts to waste yarn for pinky and CO 4 sts. On round 17, split off other fingers.

First finger: 18 + CO2; knit 30 rounds, decrease.

Middle finger: 16 + PU3 (decrease 2 on next round) + CO3; knit 33 rounds, decrease.

Ring finger: 14 + PU4, (decrease 2 on next round) + previous CO4; knit 26 rounds, decrease.

Pinky finger: 12 + PU5, increase 1 (decrease 2 on next round); knit 23 rounds, decrease.

Thumb: 18 + PU5 (decrease 2 next two rounds), knit 22 rounds, decrease.

Fingertip decreases:

Gloves are all done! They blocked beautifully and I took about a yard or so of conductive thread so now I can use these with my phone. I used duplicate stitch on the first fingers and thumb to add the thread and I’m pleased with how little it stands out. I took a picture of the fingers (the second picture) but it’s hard to see. But it works! I love these!
