After knitting 9 cm, start forming the hole for the thumb on the back of hand. For this, transfer 7 sts to the pin with needles, which you use for making stockinette stitch. Cast on 7 more sts and continue work. Make to 17 cm height from the beginning. Then, make 6 rows of rib and bind off the sts due to the ornament.
Thumb
Transfer the slipped sts from the pin to the knitting needle, lift 7 sts along the edge + 1 st from broaching from each side. Place all the sts (= 16 sts) to the 4 knitting needles. Work with stockinette stitch to 4,5-5 cm. Bind off the sts due to the ornament.
