Written for Magic Loop. Knit at a tight gauge.

The best way to explain this process is that it is similar to knitting a bottom up raglan sweater. The thumb and body are knit separately, then joined at the widest part of the hand and decreased toward the wrist.

Pattern uses one yarn only. I used my handspun and have listed alternatives for nonspinners.
