Sizes: smaller (for a hand roughly 7 1/2" - 8" in circumference at the base of the thumb) and larger (for a hand roughly 8 1/2" - 9" in circumference at the base of the thumb) - directions for larger size will follow those for the smaller size in parentheses
Yarn: Schoeller + Stahl Baby Micro (51% Virgin Wool, 49% Acrylic; 106 yards [97.5 meters]/25 grams); #04 Light Blue - two skeins

Needles: One set of double-pointed needles (dpns) in size 3, one set of dpns in size 2

Notions: Tapestry needle

Gauge: 26 stitches = 4 inches
Using your size 2 dpns, cast on 54 stitches loosely (63 stitches) and distribute among your dpns as follows: 18 stitches on your first needle, 18 stitches on your second needle, and 18 stitches on your third needle (for the larger size: 18 stitches on your first needle, 27 stitches on your second needle, and 18 stitches on your third needle). Join in round, and then we'll knit the following ribbing row:

A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and goes like so for both sizes:
Row 1: knit
Row 2: * k2, yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo, k2 *
Row 3: knit
Row 4: * k3, yo, sl2 together knitwise-k1-p2sso, yo, k3 *
Knit rows 1 - 4 ten times, and then it's time to begin gusseting in the thumb. So let's proceed as follows:
Row 1: knit until you have 17 stitches left on your first needle, yo, and then knit across the rest of your first and second needles. Knit 17 on your third needle, yo, and then knit until end of round (both sizes).
Row 2: knit until you have 18 stitches left on your first needle, and then (k2, yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo, k2) six times (seven for larger size). Knit until end of round.
Row 3: same as row 1
Row 4: knit until you have 18 stitches left on your first needle, and then (k3, yo, sl2 together knitwise-k1-p2sso, yo, k3) six times (seven for larger size). Knit until end of round.
Work rows 1 - 4 four times (five times for larger size). At this point, you should have 26 (28) stitches on your first and last needles. Knit across first 8 (10) stitches on your first needle and then transfer these 8 (10) stitches and the final 8 (10) stitches on your third needle to a scrap piece of yarn, to hold for working later as the thumb. And now, we'll resume our original pattern, joining the mitt back in the round at the thumb break. I've copied the pattern below again even though there are no changes. Naturally, that means it's still the same for both sizes.
Row 1: knit
Row 2: * k2, yo, ssk, k1, k2tog, yo, k2 *
Row 3: knit
Row 4: * k3, yo, sl2 together knitwise-k1-p2sso, yo, k3 *
Knit rows 1 - 4 four times, knit row 1 again, and then switch to your size 2 dpns and complete four rows of your ribbing row (* k2, p2, k1, p2, k2 *). Bind off loosely in pattern. And finally, using your size 3 dpns, pick up your thumb stitches again, taking care not to put a seam where the break in the stitches occurs (where you rejoined your glove in the round after removing the thumb stitches from your dpns). Knit around, picking up two extra stitches at the break, and completing 5 knit rows in total. Switch to your size 2 needles and knit two rows in a * k1, p1 * ribbing. Bind off loosely, and tuck in ends. Lastly, make another, if you'd like two. Stick with one if you're going for a Michael Jackson thing, and/or suffer from One Cold Hand Syndrome*.
