I strongly recommend knitting these inside-out if you’re using colourwork.

Notes:

• CO 60 st
• 40 rnds 2x2 rib
• Increased 3 instead of 5 (every 20 st) - 63 st
• k 2 rnds
• Work Container Ships chart for 4 rounds
• Right Thumb Gusset: k 35, pm, m1r, k1, m1l, pm, k to end.
• Left Thumb Gusset: k 28, pm, m1r, k1, m1l, pm k to end.
• Follow remaining pattern instructions, knitting 2 rnds between each gusset increase and continuing after gusset until 6.5” or seven repeats of colour chart (14 layers of ships).

Decrease set up:

• Rnd 1: k29, k2tog, k1, k to end (62 st)
• Rnd 2: k1, ssk, k29, ssk, k to end (60 st)
• Continue with top decreases as written in pattern, starting with rnd 2 in pattern.

Thumb:

• 22 rnds body, finish as in pattern.
