Make 2 identical fingerless gloves:

CO 45 sts over 2 dpns, dividing sts as evenly as possible over 4 dpns.

Using Rib Pattern, knit until glove measures 6.5 inches.

Rearrange remaining sts on Needles 2-4 as evenly as possible.

(All the following rows are to be done on Needle 1. Continue with the established Rib Pattern on Needles 2-4.)

Row 1: Knit in stockinette stitch.
Row 2: K5, BO 7 sts, k3. (NOTE: The last stitch you knit of the K5 leapfrogs over the next stitch you knit and counts as the first bound-off stitch. This leaves 4 sts, a hole for the thumb (obviously the BO sts), and then 4 sts on Needle 1.)
