Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green and frosty white
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the forest green yarn, cast on 40 stitches. Make sure to use a long-tail cast-on method for flexibility.
2. Distribute Stitches: Divide the stitches evenly across four double-pointed needles (10 stitches on each needle). Join to work in the round, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted.
3. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 10 rounds. This will create a snug cuff for your gloves.
4. Stockinette Stitch: Switch to stockinette stitch (knit every round) and knit for 5 rounds. This will form the smooth body of the glove.
5. Begin Leaf Motif: Start the leaf motif by following this pattern:
   • knit 5 stitches, purl 1 stitch, knit 3 stitches, purl 1 stitch
   • Repeat this pattern around the round until you reach the end.
   Continue this pattern for 10 rounds.
6. Switch Yarn: Change to the frosty white yarn and knit 5 rounds in stockinette stitch. This will create a lovely contrast against the forest green.
7. Create Thumb Opening: On the next round, bind off 6 stitches. Continue working in the established pattern. On the following round, cast on 6 stitches over the bound-off stitches to create the thumb opening.
8. Continue Pattern: Knit in the established pattern for 5 more rounds. This will ensure the thumb opening is seamlessly integrated into the design.
9. Return to Ribbing: Switch back to the forest green yarn and work in 1x1 ribbing for 5 rounds. This will finish the glove with a cohesive look.
10. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the cuff remains stretchy. Use a stretchy bind-off method for best results.
11. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Make sure to secure the ends well to prevent unraveling.
