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.
At this point, arrange sts so that 15 sts are on Needle 1 as follows:
N1: p2, k2, p2, k3, p2, k2, p2
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.)
