Some knitters have trouble with the thumb directions. It is a wordy patch, isn't it? Stick it out though, because the thumb bind-off is quite tidy. It might help to have someone read the directions out loud to you.

While buttons are optional, if you add them, you create a left and a right glove. Otherwise your gloves are reversible. Something to consider!
