Next RS round: knit

Knit one more round.

Increase rounds:

Next RS row Knit 1, inc. one stitch-kfb (knit into front and back of second stitch), knit the rest of the round until 2 stitches remain. Kfb in next stitch, knit last stitch.

Knit one round.

Repeat these 2 rounds 6 times to form thumb gusset.

Transfer thumb gusset stitches to waste yarn or small stitch holder.

Continue to knit plain in the round on remaining hand stitches only until glove is desire length less one inch. (about to the base of the knuckles)

Now work about one inch in K2 P2 rib and bind off.

Transfer thumb stitches to dpns and pick up a couple of additional stitches around thumb opening as needed to prevent there being any gaps or holes (around 18 stitches or so).
