Making these for an almost 4-year-old, so adjusting the sizing in a few ways:

  • CO 44 sts
  • work ribbing over first 20 sts
  • Sized down to a US 1
  • 23 rounds for the cuff (about 2”)
  • on first inc round, (k1,p1) x5, work inc, then work in pattern to end of round
  • Inc thumb gusset until 15 sts between markers (14 sts increased)
  • Next round, place all thumb sts on scrap yarn (cast on 1 st in the gap)
  • Knit 5 rounds plain st st (1x1 rib maintained where it was previously)
  • 4 rounds 1x1 rib all the way around, then BO in pattern

Thumb:

  • CO 3 in back
  • Knit 2 plain rounds, then 3 rounds 1x1 rib before BO in pattern.

Hoping that with these adjustments, they will fit his hands.

Use 21g of yarn for the pair. He adores them. The sweetest!
