Materials

• Chain 1 and turn
• Work single crochet in the back loop only across each row
• Repeat until you have 36 rows for a small size or more for a larger size

Step 2 Join the Cuff

• Slip stitch to join
• Chain 1 and continue half double crochets for four rows

Continue Hand and Change Hook

• Work half double crochets in the round until you have eight rows total

Create the Thumb Opening

• After completing eight rows, chain 1
• Work half double crochets until 10 stitches remain
• Skip 10 stitches and slip stitch to join to form the opening

Finish the Glove Top

• Chain 1 and make half double crochets around the new smaller circumference
• Continue for four rows

Final Edging
