Continue to knit for another 17 rows across 39 sts or as long as required to fit hand. Knit 3 rows in garter stitch, cast off knit wise.
Knit thumb
With stitches that are on the piece of yarn facing you with the right side, starting from the right end of the stitches slip them back on to a 4mm needle. Holding this needle in the left hand, rejoin the yarn at the base of the stitch at the end of the needle point, ready to start knitting again.

Purl into back & front of stitch, purl to last stitch, purl into back & front of stitch. (15sts)
Stocking stitch 7 rows.
Next row Change to 3 ¼ mm needles,
Knit 2 rows cast off knit wise. Try to cast off not too tightly. If you have a problem with this, try using a larger sized needle to cast off.
Making up
Using matching yarn & wool sewing up needle, stitch up the side seam of the main glove from the ribbing to end using either ladder stitch or over sew.
Stitch up seam of thumb using the same method.
Left glove.
Reverse shaping at **to** for thumb.This means instead of starting with K 22 ,you will start with K17.

It must be a Scottie thing! Fergus loves the snow we have to force him indoors with a waft of bikkie. Lottie is up for it but only for so long then she heads back to the conservatory and rattles the cat flap to be let in.
Are you on Ravelry? If so have a peep at the Cratchit Mittens - I made some for M - he loves them. Interestedin construction too.
Peri,
Maisie is just the same.Rattles on the cat flap to be let in.She is too fat to get through it now!!
