Knit 1 lateral braid K 4 rows Tipless Fingers The first 26 sts will be the back of your hand and the last 26 sts will be the palm of your hand. Just make sure to keep the thumb on the correct side so that you dont make two left-handed gloves! Divide the stitches by four with two fingers receiving 7 (ea side) and the pinky receiving 6. Alternatively you can give the pink 5 sts and all the others 7. Each finger will be knit separately while the remaining stitches will be held on waste yarn or a stitch holder. Strategy: The tricky part with gloves is briding the gap between the back and the front in order to separate each finger while also making sure you have enough stitches for each finger. This requires increases while making sure not to leave gaps in the finished work.
