Fingerless Gloves for Finger Hands

This is baby hand. It's really a tiny man hand, but my sister and I call it baby hand. Check out her Tumblr to see what adventures baby hand is getting up to!

Anyways, I had a bunch of scrap sock yarn laying around and decided to make baby hand a fingerless glove (or seven). This is my first attempt at writing a pattern, so if anyone tries it, please me know if it's understandable! I'm pretty good at reading knitting patterns, but figuring out how to write this short, fairly simple pattern was way harder than I anticipated. For a downloadable version of the pattern, check out the Ravelry page.

Materials
Fingering/sock weight yarn, approximately 3 grams per glove
Set of 5 US size 1 (2.25mm) double pointed needles
Yarn needle
Optional: stitch marker, cable needle

Gauge
This project is so tiny it's not really worth making a gauge swatch. If you still feel compelled to check, 9 stitches and 12 rows = 1” in stockinette.

Abbreviations
k: knit
p: purl
kfb: increase by knitting in the front and back loop of the stitch before pulling it off the needle
c6f: (cable 6 front) a six stitch left-twisting cable. Instead of using a cable needle, I leave 3 stitches on the double pointed needle and pull the whole needle in front. Knit the next 3 stitches, slide the 3 reserved stitches onto the left needle, and knit them.
c6b: (cable 6 back) a six stitch right-twisting cable. Put the needle with the first 3 stitches behind the work, knit the next 3 stitches, slide the 3 reserved stitches onto the left needle, and knit them.
k2tog: decrease by knitting two stitches together

Right Glove
Cast on 24 stitches and distribute evenly on four needles (6 stitches per needle). I use the longtail cast on, but you can use any cast on you prefer. Join, being careful not to twist the stitches.
