holes in thumb gussets

[to_love_a_rose]

It seems like every time I knit a pair of mittens or gloves, I end up with a gaping hole in the thumb gusset. Picking up more stitches in surrounding stitches helps, but doesn't solve the problem (maybe I'm not picking up enough?) and sewing it shut looks ugly. Help?

I don't know that it has a name; I've never come across one. Are you on Ravelry? The technique is used in this pattern and explained quite well with good diagrams.

Oh, shoot! I see now that that pattern is no longer free. I hate when they do that. Sorry!
