Steps
Wrap a tape measure around your knuckles and note the length. Chain enough stitches to match that measurement, keeping the chain loose so the cuff can stretch over your hand.
Turn and work the first row in half double crochet, going through the back loop only. Every following row uses the same back loop stitch, which builds the ribbed texture.
Repeat the back loop rows until the panel wraps around your hand with a little stretch. Count your rows so the second glove matches the first.
Fold the panel in half lengthwise with the right side facing out. Slip stitch the long edges together, but leave a gap of about 4 cm (1.5 in) near one end for the thumb.
Turn the glove right side out and slide it on. Check that the thumb hole sits at the base of your thumb and widen it if it feels tight.
Thread a tapestry needle with contrast yarn and sew a small heart on the back of the hand. Work short straight stitches, then pull the yarn tail inside.
Fasten off and weave in all loose ends. Make a second glove using the same hook and the same row count.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your starting chain loose, or the cuff will dig into your wrist.
Try the glove on before you fasten off so you can still fix the thumb gap.
Use the same hook size for both gloves so they end up the same size.
Smooth worsted yarn shows the ribbing and the heart best; fluffy yarn hides both.
Questions
How much yarn does a pair of fingerless gloves take?
One 100 g skein of worsted weight yarn is usually enough for both gloves, plus a small amount of contrast yarn for the heart.
Can I crochet these gloves in the round instead?
Yes. Work joined rounds of half double crochet and skip the side seam, but still leave a gap for the thumb opening.
Do I need embroidery experience for the heart?
No. The heart is made from simple straight stitches, so you only move the needle in and out of the crochet fabric.
