Step 1: Holding one strand of each yarn together and treating them as one strand, wrap 8 pegs with a single knit to make a strip that is 8", or 36 rows, long.

Step 2: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 3: To make the handle, use 2 strands of the Wool-Ease yarn. Wrap 4 pegs and knit 16 rows.

Step 4: Decrease one stitch on the next two rows, and switch to the figure-8 design, knitting the bottom stitch over the stitch on the top. You are now making an I-cord. Make the cord 26" long, or longer if you want a longer handle.

Step 5: Go back to wrapping the pegs and add one peg on each side of the cord. Knit 16 rows on these 4 pegs.

Step 6: Take the knitting off of the loom.

Step 7: Fold the main part of the pouch in half. Using the yarn needle and the cranberry Wool-Ease yarn, pin the end of the handle in the fold of the main part, and sew in both sides. Do the same on the other side.

Step 1: Left Hand: Using 2 strands of Wool-Ease yarn, wrap counterclockwise to peg 19. Turn around on peg 19 and knit back to peg 1. Complete 12 rows.

Step 2: Thumb: After you have knitted back to peg 1, wrap pegs 24, 23, 22, 21, and 20. This will be the top of the thumb. Knit back to peg 19. Then turn and knit the other way to peg 20. Decrease the loop on peg 20, and continue decreasing one loop on the thumb side (5 times) until you are back on the original 19 pegs.

Step 3: Knit 2 more rows on the 19 pegs.

Step 4: Cut one of the yarns and add in the Color Wave yarn. Knit 3 rows and take them off of the loom, very loosely.

Step 5: Sew the side of the glove up using the yarn needle and the Wool-Ease yarn. Leave a hole for the thumb.

Step 6: Right hand: start on peg 24 and wrap clockwise to peg 6. Complete 12 rows of knitting.

Step 7: Thumb: When you have knit back to peg 24, knit on pegs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Decrease the loop on peg 5, and continue decreasing every row on the thumb side (5 times) until you are back on the original 19 pegs.

Step 8: Using the yarn needle and one strand of yarn, sew up the side of the glove, leaving the hole for the thumb.

Step 9: Make one stitch in the middle of the end where the fingers come out. The stitch will go in between the four fingers on your hand. (I used a needle with regular sewing thread to tack this space between the fingers.)
