Where can the pattern be found. The link is broken
I am using worstered weight yarn and a size 5 needles, how do i make these for elementary kids hands. do i use smaller needles or do less rows.
I’m so confused! After knitting the ribbing, the next step is to shape the thumb gusset, however, not only is round 3 missing but shouldn’t there be a time when markers is put in place? Also, should the increase be a M1 or M2? I would have also thought there would have been several rows of knitting before the thumb gusset. HELP!
This was a lovely bllog post
