Quick and dirty free pattern:
I came up with this while my hands were twitchy at work. Stopped by my LYS, picked up some discount yarn and made a thing! If there's interest, I will make it look pretty and create a download on Ravelry. This version assumes you know a bit about knitting and reading patterns.
Yarn: Merino Plus, by Mondial: 100 grams/125 meters
Needles: 4.0mm (size 6 US) double points or use the magic loop method. The pattern is written assuming DPNs.
Gauge: 5 sts/ inch or so, it's stretchy.
Size: measures 3-1/4" laid flat across the fingers above the thumb gusset. It's stretchy, so it should fit most women's hands.
Cast on 33 stitches using long tailed cast on. I actually used the alternating cast on, if you know what that is, it's pretty nifty variation of the long tailed cast on.
Knit 12 rows garter stitch flat. This is the section that flips over your fingers. If you want more finger coverage, then knit more rows.
Next row distribute stitches as follows: If using DPNs: k12 with needle 1. K12 w/ needle 2. K 8 w/ needle 3 and transfer last stitch to needle 1.
If using magic loop, k16, slide needle to make loop, k16, transfer last stitch to other needle.
Next row: k2tog last stitch and first stitch. K 12 rounds.
At the end of round 12, place marker and use backwards loop cast on and cast on 13 stitches.
I'm not sure how this will work for magic loop, so I'm hoping you can adapt the pattern as you need to to keep the stitches even.

K to 4 sts before end of round, k2tog, ssk.
k to 2 sts before end of round, k2tog.
I marked this stitch with a pin so I could more easily count rows after that one.
K 12 rounds
After round 12, turn work and knit 12 rows garter stitch "flat". I put it in quotes because it's not going to lay flat while you knit it due to the curve of the glove, but you knit back and forth as if it were flat.
Bind off.
If you want to add more length to the thumb! (feel free to leave it as is, the backwards loop cast on should have left it looking pretty tidy)
Using 2 DPNs smaller than the ones you used for the glove, pick up the stitches you cast on plus one in the gap: 7 stitches on each needle. There's a trick to this, I will take pictures when I get to that point on my next set of glovies.
Using the same size DPNs as for the body of the glove, knit 6 rounds. Use the chain bind off loosely.
Weave in the ends, do the whole thing again and enjoy!
