Top Cuff
10 rows 1 x 1
Hand Knit the following
Before removing the waste yarn I use a sewing needle to sew a running thread through all the stitches that are about to be exposed by removing the waste yarn. This will
stop the stitches running. Not very clear to see, orange thread has been used

As you remove the running thread pick up each stitch.
Pick up 12 stitches from lower hand , make 1 stitch in body of glove immediately before the waste yarn started knitting, 12 stitches from the top hand, make 1 stitch in body of glove immediately after the waste yarn was knit. (26 stitches)
Knit at least 12 rows of 1 x 1 rib, knit more rows if you want more of the thumb covered.
Cast off in 1 x 1 rib.
Hand Finish the Top Cuff
Sew a running thread around the last 1 x 1 knit row before waste yarn
As you remove the running thread pick up each stitch.
Pick up all stitches, remove running thread.
Standard knitted cast off in 1 x 1 rib.
