Join and work in the round in K2 p2 rib for cuff. Place a marker at the beginning of the round. Cuff length is up to you but I like to do about a 3 inch cuff.

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).

Knit around the thumb stitches 8 times. Bind off.

Weave in ends.

Rock and roll in your new fingerless gloves!

Divide from 3 needles to 2. End having just worked across needle 2 (instep) then slip stitches from needles 1 & 3 together onto needle 1 (this is the heel needle)
Now there are the same # of stitches on two needles.

With right side facing, work heel stitches only:

Row 1: slip1 PW, K1, repeat across row

Row 2: slip 1 PW, purl across

Repeat rows 1&2 until heel measures 2.5” ending having worked a knit row.

With purl side facing-(always slip 1st stitch purlwise, then work to gap, work the 2 sts on either side of gap together, work 1st and then turn) end having worked a knit row.

Heel gusset:
Back to 3 needles, with right side facing and using heel needle (this will be needle 1) pick up and knit 11(13,14) stitches along left edge of heel flap (side w/yarn attached)
Then use an empty needle to knit across needle 2.
With another empty needle, (this will be needle 3) pick up and knit 11(13,14) stitches down right side of heel flap, then knit 7 stitches from needle 1 onto this same needle.
There are now 18 stitches on both needles 1&3 and needle 2 remains unchanged.
