Revised Pattern for my Fingerless Gloves

Row 46: K4, P2, K6, P2, K7 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K7, P2, K6, P2, K4

NOW HERE'S WHERE IT GETS TRICKY

Okay so because your using 2 circs binding off on the thumb gusset can be a little tricky, you'll want to grab a DPN for this next step.

Row 47: K4, P2, K6, P2, K3, using the DPN BO Knitwise the next 4 stitches on first circ needle (2nd needle repeat in reverse) using the DPN BO Knitwise the next 4 stitches on first circ needle, K3, P2, K6, P2, K4

Row 48: K4, P2, C6f, P2, K2, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K1


Increase Thumb Gusset for Left Hand Glove

Row 41: K1, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K3, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, K6, P2, K3, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K1

Row 42: K5, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) zK4, P2, K6, P2, K5

Row 43: K1, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K4, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, K6, P2, K4, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K1

Row 44: K6, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, K6, P2, K6

Row 45: K1, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K5, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, K6, P2, K5, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K1

Row 46: K7, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, K6, P2, K7

It’s a lot trickier to BO for the Left Thumb Gusset, there is some forcing to do. You’ll needle to first BO from the 2nd needle then the 1st so that the BO is fluid on the gusset.

Row 47: Slide the last 4 stitches from the 2nd circ needle on to the DPN, with the 2nd circ needle & the DPN BO Knitwise those 4 stitches, with the DPN and the 1st circ needle BO Knitwise 4 stitches, K3, P2, K6, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse minus the BO) K4, P2, K6, P2, K3

Row 48: K1, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, P2, C6f, P2, K4 (2nd needle repeat in reverse) K4, P2, C6F, P2, Invisible Increase 1 & knit before sliding off needle, K1

The remaining rows are same for both Gloves

Rows 49 – 55: K4, P2, K6, P2, K4 (repeat for 2nd needle) K4, P2, K6, P2, K4

Row 56: K4, P2, C6F, P2, K4 (repeat for 2nd needle) K4, P2, C6F, P2, K4

Row 57 – 59: : K4, P2, K6, P2, K4 (repeat for 2nd needle) K4, P2, K6, P2, K4

Row 60: BO in pattern

I probably wasted my time even making a separate pattern for the left thumb gusset when you can just as easily make two of the right hand and flip it over to wear since they are symmetrical but when I was in the heat of the knitting moment I was just trying to solve the problem that came up on the left hang glove.
