These were inspired by the gloves seen on Dr Horrible’s Sing Along blog worn by Penny.

I have just made a change to the pattern to add two additional stitches to the thumb as it seemed a bit tight to me

for the button band: if you want a bit wider button band you can cast on an extra stitch and do the button band as 5 stitches and the button hole as k2, yo, k2tog, k1
