Finished Size
These gloves are designed for small hands. If you need something a bit bigger, you could try a thicker yarn and a larger crochet hook.
I used a 4.5mm so going up to a 5mm, might just do it for an average size.
The Yarn
I used a 4.5mm hook and Patons Canadiana – The New Generation yarn. The yarn is a “Category 4 – Medium Worsted Weight”, but I find it is slightly thinner than most other yarns in that category. Maybe it seems that way because the yarn is so soft, but it does work up quite nicely with a small hook.
