5. Same as 4th row.
6. Purl 2, slip and bind, (over, knit 1) 5 times, over, narrow, purl 2,
take 3 of the 6 stitches off on a separate needle, hold this at back of
work, knit next 3 stitches, then knit the 3 on separate needle; repeat.
Continue in pattern, twisting the "cable" as directed every 6th row,
until the wrist is seven patterns in length. Then carry one cable up
back of hand, with an openwork stripe each side, and knit plain across
palm.
Commence thumb at top of wrist. As the gloves are right and left, care
must be taken in starting the thumb so that both will not be for the
same hand. On the left-hand glove the thumb is started at right of the
stripe, on the right-hand glove at the left of stripe. Begin thumb with
widen, knit 1, widen; knit 3 rows as usual, then widen, knit 3, widen;
continue in this way until you have widened the thumb to 17 stitches.
Put these on 2 needles, on a 3d needle cast on 7 stitches, join and knit
once around, in each of next 3 rounds narrow 1 of the 7 stitches,
arrange the stitches evenly on 3 needles, knit two inches, then narrow
at end of each needle until you have 6 remaining, put these on 2 needles
and bind off.
Continuing with the hand, pick up the 7 stitches cast on at base of
thumb, knit to the base of the little finger, and divide the stitches on
2 needles, or, if more convenient, take them off on a twine. For the
little finger: Take 8 stitches from back needle and 8 from front, and
cast on 6 stitches, knit once around plain, narrow off 1 of the 6
stitches in each of next 5 rounds, knit 2 inches, narrow 1 stitch at end
of each needle until 6 stitches remain, put these on 2 needles and bind
off.
First Finger: Pick up the 6 stitches cast on for little finger, knit to
the middle, take 8 stitches from each side next the thumb, cast on 6
stitches for inside of finger, knit once around plain, in next 4 rounds
narrow off 1 of the 6 stitches, knit two and one-half inches, and finish
off as before.
Third Finger: Pick up the 6 stitches cast on for first finger, knit
them, knit plain, leaving 9 stitches toward little finger, putting these
on separate needle, 9 stitches from other side, cast on 6 stitches, knit
until you get to those left for little finger, narrow 1 of these and 1
of the 6 each time around for 6 rounds, knit two and one-half inches,
and finish off as directed.
