For the gloves I cast on 54 stitches on size 3 (US) dpns in a sport weight yarn which is working well sizewise. I didn't do the braiding but if you wanted to you could use the 2 color vikkel braid from Folk Knitting in Estonia which looks the same. I'm not so sure about the dark green color I chose in the cuff but I'll wait and see until they're done. I'm ready for the fingers and I looked at the individual finger charts to see the numbers. They'll be something like (1) (7)(3)(7)(2) with additional Japanese characters. I took that to mean cast on 1 stitch, knit 7 sts off the needle, pick up 3 sts from the previous finger, knit 7 more sts from the next dpn, and cast on 2 more sts. I did the math for each finger and it works out to the 64 sts on the needles at the end of the glove body.
