ReplyDeleteI also cannot find the rest of the pattern
ReplyDeleteMe neither and I'd started knitting so if anyone has the rest could you please pass it on thank you
ReplyDeleteNeed rest of pattern
ReplyDeleteDid anyone get rest of pattern.
ReplyDeleteI ended up closing the hand part the same as I did the thumb. Once completing the thumb section I knitted the hand section to measure 7 1/2” from cast on row. Then on right side I k1, k2tog to the end. The next row P all st. Then repeat k1, k2tog to the end. Bind off as done with thumb section.
