  1. Hi, love this pattern, I’ve made my first glove with it. Thank you for uploading it for free here. When I followed your pattern I made a left-handed glove… can I use the same pattern for a right handed glove?
    Also, had some trouble with row 14. When you finish casting off the 12 stitches, how did you get your working yarn to the start of the next row? I ended up purling my last cast off stitch to the first stitch of row 15.

    1. Hiya, I’m so pleased that you like it! Both left and right hands are made the same way. The shape of the thumb easily can be worn either way.

      The row question, off the top of my head the last stitch stays on the needle, you turn it and start the next row. I’ll have to check properly and add it to my reply at a later time.
