Hi @rcubed thank you very much for your reply. Please be a bit more patient with me. I’m very new in knitting.
the thing i cannot work out is: from the last instruction (…“until there are 42 sts, st st 3 rows”), I have 42 stitches on my needle. So when continue to knit on the RS 29 stitches, i will have 29 stitches on my right needle and the remaining 13 stitches on my left needle (42-29=13). Then i turn. now facing the WS, i knit the 10 stitches, which put 10 stitches back onto my right needle, making 23 stitches on my right needle (13+10=23). and my left needle will now have 19 stitches (29-10=19).
so now no matter on which side i cast on the 3 extra new stitches, i cannot get the magic number 13. so that’s why i’m stuck.
The name of the pattern : there is not really a pattern for this glove. its a simple stockinette stitches only. i borrowed this book from the library " Knitting at Home, 60 classics from Ella Rae Designs by Leanne Prouse", and is on page 74.
the left glove instructions is pretty much the same as the right glove above. would you like me to type the left glove instructions too?
