To match my Very Warm Reflective Hat

2x2 rib cuff is 100% wool (mill ends suspected to be Bernat Banff) held double-stranded, then helix-striped with the Lumio reflective yarn starting near the base of the palm.

Thumb gusset: start with 2 thumb stitches, then 2 increases every 3rd row until 12 sts for thumb. Cast on 3 sts across gap (15 sts for thumb). Relatively wide thumb for layering over gloves when it’s really frigid.

Jo Sharp Silk Road Ultra (beige yarn) starts at separation from thumb, until last of that yarn all used up, then switch back to helix-stripes of black yarns.

Techknitter’s tulips buttonhole on right thumb and for right index finger, for smartphone use and for wrangling transit transfers in and out of pocket on back of left hand. I-cord loops for hanging to dry if they get snow-covered.
