First and foremost: since these fingerless gloves have a pattern that's intended to be in different places on the two gloves (left of the thumb on the left side, right of the thumb on the right), we'll have to knit the right and left gloves with slightly different patterns. So let's begin with the left, and when that bad boy's done, we'll move on to the right!

A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. So here goes:
Row 1, and all odd rows: (k5, p1) three times, knit until end of round (for larger size: k7, p1, (k5, p1) twice, knit until end of round)
Row 2: k5, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (for larger size: k7, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round)
Row 4: k5, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (for larger size: k7, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round)
Row 6: same as row 1 and odd rows
Knit rows 1 - 6 four times, and then we'll begin gusseting in the thumb. So now, we'll be knitting like so:
Row 1, and all odd rows: knit until you have 18 stitches left on your first needle, kfb, k3, p1, (k5, p1) two times, k1, knit across second needle, and then knit 11 stitches on your third needle, kfb, and knit until end of round (the first time you knit this row, you won't have any stitches after that final kfb) (for larger size: knit until you have 20 stitches left on your first needle, kfb, (k5, p1) three times, k1, knit across second needle, and then knit 12 stitches on your third needle, kfb, and knit until end of round)
Row 2: knit until you have fourteen stitches left on your first needle, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 4: knit until you have fourteen stitches left on your first needle, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 6: knit until you have fourteen stitches left on your first needle, p1, (k5, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
For both sizes: Knit rows 1 - 6 twice. On your next row, knit across first 8 stitches and then thread these stitches and the final six stitches from needle 3 onto a scrap of yarn, to work later as thumb. And now we'll resume our original pattern, with a slight variation since we've moved two stitches into our thumb. Or in terms of the pattern, here's what we'll do next:
Row 1, and all odd rows: k3, p1, (k5, p1) twice, knit until end of round (for larger size: (k5, p1) three times, knit until end of round)
Row 2: k3, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (for larger size: k5, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round)
Row 4: k3, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (for larger size: k5, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round)
Row 6: same as row 1 and odd rows
Knit rows 1 - 6 twice, knit row 1 once more, and then switch to your size 4 dpns and complete four rounds in a * k1, p1 * ribbing. Bind off loosely in pattern. Next, transfer your thumb stitches to your size 6 dpns, making sure to place stitches from before and after the break on a single needle (the break being where you rejoined the glove in a round after working your thumb gusset). Knit around, picking up two extra stitches at the break when you get there. Knit four rows around in total, and then switch to your size 4 needles and knit two more rows in a * k1, p1 * ribbing. Bind off loosely in pattern, and tuck in ends.
And now, for the right glove!
Using your size 4 needles, cast on 42 (48) stitches loosely and then divide among your double-pointed needles as follows: place 12 (13) stitches on first needle, 12 (15) stitches on second needle, and 18 (20) stitches on third needle. Join in round. Next, work four rows in a * k1, p1 * ribbing. And then it's time to switch to your size 6 needles and begin the pattern, which will go like so:

Row 1, and all odd rows: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k5, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 2: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 4: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 6: same as row 1 and odd rows
Knit rows 1 - 6 four times, and then we'll begin gusseting in the thumb. So now, we'll be knitting like so:
Row 1, and all odd rows: knit until you have 12 stitches left on your first needle, kfb, and knit the rest of your stitches on your first and second needles (on your first repetition of this row, that means you'll kfb on your first stitch of the round). Once you reach your third needle, k1, p1, (k5, p1) two times, k2, kfb, and knit until end of round. (For larger size: knit until you have 13 stitches left on your first needle, kfb, and knit the rest of your stitches on your first and second needles. Once you reach your third needle, k1, p1, (k5, p1) twice, k4, kfb, and knit until end of round)
Row 2: knit all of the stitches on your first and second needles; then, k1, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, and knit until end or round (both sizes)
Row 4: knit all of the stitches on your first and second needles; then, k1, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, and knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 6: knit all of the stitches on your first and second needles; then, k1, p1, (k5, p1) twice, and knit until end of round (both sizes)
For both sizes: Knit rows 1 - 6 twice. On your next row, knit across first 7 stitches and then thread these stitches and the final 7 stitches from needle 3 onto a scrap of yarn, to work later as thumb. And now we'll resume our original pattern, which, for this glove, we don't need to modify. Here's a reminder of how it goes, then:

Row 1, and all odd rows: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k5, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 2: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k1, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 4: knit across first two needles, k1, p1, (k2, yo, ssk, k1, p1) twice, knit until end of round (both sizes)
Row 6: same as row 1 and odd rows
Knit rows 1 - 6 twice, knit row 1 once more, and then switch to your size 4 dpns and complete four rounds in a * p1, k1 * ribbing (notice that this isn't the * k1, p1 * we used before). Bind off loosely in pattern. Next, transfer your thumb stitches to your size 6 dpns, making sure to place stitches from before and after the break on a single needle (the break being where you rejoined the glove in a round after working your thumb gusset). Knit around, picking up two extra stitches at the break when you get there. Knit four rows around in total, and then switch to your size 4 needles and knit two more rows in a * k1, p1 * ribbing. Bind off loosely in pattern, and tuck in ends. And congrats - you're done!!!
