I CO 44 stitches, and end result is pretty tight. I CO 48 stitches for gloves two, and a much nicer fitting result. I didn’t like the way the pfb increases were coming out, so I just did a M1 for the increases. Did not knit the thumb flat, just did a thumb gusset. I like how these gloves came out and the result with this yarn; feels like they will be very warm.
