Pattern notes
These gauntlets are knitted in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a few rounds of rib, then following a chart. A thumb gusset is inserted, and, after the thumb chart is completed and stitches set aside, the gauntlet top is finished with rib. A few rib rounds then complete the top of the thumb.
