How to Knit Women’s Fingerless Gloves with Fingers
Using 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles, cast on 36 (44, 52) stitches for each glove. Work both gloves simultaneously using the Magic Loop method.

In the next round, switch to Stockinette Stitch and increase 2 stitches for each glove by making lifted increases from the strand between stitches. You should now have 38 (46, 54) stitches for each glove.
Work 4 rounds in Stockinette Stitch.
Thumb Gusset
The thumb gusset is positioned exactly along the fold line of the glove, allowing either glove to be worn on the left or right hand.
