I haven't knit it myself, but from reading the pattern - it says that the beginning of the round starts at the thumb, moves across the palm, and then around the back of the hand. Since the eyelet pattern is halfway around the back of the hand, I would probably go with the third marker - it doesn't say what the second marker is for, but it seems like if you knit 14 st from the second marker you'll be making the pattern in the middle of the palm.
Reading the pattern it seems like the first marker may be some kind of thumb gusset marker? I don't get it, though, because it seems like the gusset increases are happening right at the beginning and end of the round which... shouldn't really need a marker? I guess it's helpful to see what round you're on? I don't know, I'm confused, but it doesn't seem like there are any instructions which actually *use* that marker.
