Knitted gloves are one of the most popular winter garments to knit but they are also not exactly the easiest project. Especially the gap between around the thumb is prone to creating holes, and many knitters have problems with picking up stitches for the fingers as well. This tutorial on how to knit gloves is meant to solve all these problems. Appart from showing you how to adjust your size, I also put an emphasis on getting neater results with many little tips and tricks for intermediate to advanced knitters.
This glove knitting pattern is based on double-pointed knitting needles. The cuff and the palm could be finished with circular needles or the magic loop technique, though.
