How to knit gloves - step by step tutorial (plus special technique for the thumb)

This tutorial on how to knit gloves is meant to solve all these problems. Apart from showing you how to adjust your size, I also put an emphasis on getting neater results with many little tips and tricks for intermediate to advanced knitters.
