Gauge

22 stitches x 30 rounds = 4 inches / 10 cm in stockinette stitch

Pattern

1. Cast On

• Using main color, cast on 12 stitches using your preferred cast-on method.

2. Knit the Main Body

1. Work in the round in stockinette stitch (knit every round) until the piece measures approximately 2.5 inches / 6.5 cm from the cast-on edge.

3. Shape the Thumb Hole

1. Next Round: Knit 4, place the next 4 stitches on a stitch holder or safety pin (these will form the thumb).
2. Continue knitting the remaining stitches around.
3. Repeat this round 2 more times to create a thumb hole width of 4 stitches.

4. Finish the Top of the Glove

1. Continue knitting in the round until the glove measures approximately 3 inches / 7.5 cm from the start of the thumb hole.
2. Next: Decrease - repeat the following round until 7 stitches remain: knit 2 together all around.
3. Cut yarn leaving a 6-inch tail. Thread through remaining stitches with yarn needle, pull tight to close, and secure.

5. Attach the Thumb

1. Place the thumb stitches on a needle, pick up and knit 2 stitches from the side of the glove opening, then pick up and knit 4 stitches from the thumb stitches.
2. Work in rounds, decreasing as needed to shape the thumb (for example, k2tog every 2nd round), until the thumb is the desired length.
3. Finish similarly to the top of the glove: knit rounds until the thumb measures about 1.5 inches / 4 cm, then decrease and close tightly.

6. Finishing

• Weave in all loose ends with yarn needle.
• If desired, add small embellishments or embroidery for personalization.

Repeat the pattern for the second glove. These mini gloves can be customized in size by adjusting the number of cast-on stitches or lengthening the body before shaping the top.
