K8, place next 50 st on waste yarn*, CO 3 to bridge gap, K to end of round (18 st)
* This is where it gets annoying with the waste yarn, as you put it on and take it off about a million times. I have found that if you have a circular needle same size / smaller, use that as your waste yarn. It will make further steps much less annoying and tedious.
Now, there are two ways you can do your fingers:
a - Fingerless gloves: Arrange sts evenly on 3 needles and work until little finger measures 1" long. Work 3 rounds in Seed Stitch. BO loosely in Seed Stitch.
b - Fingered normal gloves: Work little finger until half-way up your finger nail. Then use "three-row taper" to make finger tip.
Round 1: *K2tog* repeat around.
Round 2: Knit all stitches.
Round 3: *K2tog* repeat around. Break yarn and draw through remaining 5 stitches.
7 - UPPER PALM
Remember all those stitches I advised you to put on a waste needle? If you didn't, pick them all back up again and join yarn at base of pinky finger. Pick up 3 st along base of finger (53 st) and knit for four rounds.
If you look at your hand, the notch between your pinky and ring fingers is lower than the other fingers. (Picture on left) Adding a few rows here raises the palm to meet the other fingers (picture on right).
