Steps
Measure around your hand at the knuckles and from your wrist to the knuckle line. Write both numbers down so both gloves come out the same size.
Make a slip knot and chain until the chain wraps snugly around your hand at the knuckles. With worsted yarn and a 5 mm hook this is usually 20 to 25 chains.
Work row 1: one half double crochet into the third chain from the hook, then one into every chain across. Count the stitches and note the number.
For row 2 onward, chain 2 and turn, then work one half double crochet into the back loop only of each stitch. Working the back loop is what creates the ribbing.
Repeat that row until the piece is as long as your wrist to knuckle measurement, roughly 15 to 18 rows. Hold it against your hand as you go.
Fasten off and leave a tail about 30 cm long. Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise with the right side facing out and line up the row edges.
Sew the seam with the tapestry needle and a whip stitch, starting at the wrist edge. Stop about 4 to 5 cm before the top edge to leave the thumb hole, then sew the rest.
Turn the glove right side out, try it on and widen the thumb gap if it feels tight. Weave in the loose ends with the needle.
Crochet the second glove the same way, using your notes from the first so the pair matches.
Tips and common mistakes
Ribbing stretches, so aim for a snug fit rather than a loose one.
Count your stitches at the end of every row, because a missed stitch shows up as a slanted seam.
If your yarn is thinner than worsted, drop to a 4 mm hook and add a few extra rows.
Questions
Can I make these without a written pattern?
Yes. Each glove is a single ribbed rectangle, so your own hand measurements set the size. Note your chain count and row count so the second glove matches.
How much yarn does a pair take?
One 100 g skein of worsted weight yarn is usually enough for both gloves, with some left over.
How do I make the thumb hole bigger?
Leave a longer gap when you sew the seam, about 5 to 6 cm, and try the glove on before you weave in the ends.
