I am so lucky to live in Northern Ireland which has featured very heavily in the TV series Game of Thrones. This is me at the Dark Hedges which for GOT fans is The Kings Road. I used the show as inspiration for the following pattern.

With wrong side facing pick up 30 stitches along the top edge of the glove.Left to right.

Fasten off last stitch.
Fold in half and sew cast on cast off rows together from the start to the end of the pattern. Place glove on hand and mark where you require thumb hole. Leave this gap and sew up the rest of the glove.
