Minor tweaks to version 3a:

+2 stitches to circumference (+1 pinky palm side, +1 palm next to thumb_
pinky 8 stitches wide upper hand and palm side

thumb gusset shortened by just one row and thumb bridge +2 with these extras being decreased to try to increase size of quirk.

Fine soft yarn - first time used. Probably needle size at the upper end for gloves and would like to try with a smaller size needle. A very soft yarn so hopeful that the 2.25mm version might work well.

Made one, might not makes second. The needle size at the upper limit for gloves and quite difficult to control those pesky little holes on the corners. Am very very hopeful though that this will work for my version 1 which was originally worked in KnitPicks Palette but ended up a bit chunky.

The yarn washes beautifully.
