Have you ever heard the expression "fits like a glove"?Have you ever tried to follow a pattern to make gloves or mittens and ended up with something that didn't fit any of the people you know?The size of a crochet project depends on many things:by the type of wool and crochet hook you use and how you use it.

1
Learn how to single crochet and how to increase and decrease while single crocheting. If you're a little rusty at crocheting or if you're a beginner, perhaps before you get to work on hand warmers, you could do some other simpler projects (like Crocheting Granny Squares).
- It will help you understand working in the round and how to hold a crocheted square piece of fabric when you work back and forth rows.
2
Choose a yarn that you think works well for hand warmers. The thicker the yarn, the thicker the hand warmers will be.This will make them warmer, but will also hinder movement.
3
Make a sample piece. Work a few chain stitches (about 5 cm should be enough) and make two or three rows of single crochet going back.Count how many points there are for each centimeter.If you make two or three rows, you can also measure the stitches of one row.
- You can make these hand to nose warmers, trying them on and increasing as needed, or you can measure, as you like.
4
Learn to count stitches, both from the side of the fabric and along the edge. You'll need to be able to match one hand to the other, and it's easier if you can count the stitches and rows by simply looking at them, rather than trying to count them as you work.
5
Decide if you want to make hand warmers that reach up to the arm or wrist. You can start at the elbow, the wrist, or anywhere in between.
6
Write down what you do as you do it. You will measure your first glove as you do this, but you will need to know how many rows you have made, and how much you have grown in each row for the first coat.Also write down how many lines there are before and after the opening of the thumb.You will need this information to make the second coat the same as the first.
7
Make a fist. You will make the fist by working straight back and forth, making a rectangular piece that will wrap around the fist.
8
Make some chain stitches depending on how wide you want your fist. ^{[1]

9
Chain three more (one chain to turn) and work in single crochet going back along the row, starting from the third chain stitch from the hook. The length of this row will determine the length of the fist, so keep or measure it now and add or subtract stitches before continuing.
10
Single crochet back and forth along the initial line.
- Only work the fabric backwards.This will give the rows a ribbed look when you turn the work.
- Chain to turn at the end of each row.
- Work the same number of stitches in each row.If you started with a chain of eight (plus three to get to the first single crochet), make sure you always make eight stitches in all the following rows.If your piece is not rectangular, count the stitches in each row and make sure to chain to turn.
11
Make enough "ribbed" rows to be able to wrap it around the wrist of those who will wear the hand warmers. You can measure your wrist (or arm) and divide by the height of the rows to find the number of rows, or you can work until you have the length you need.
12
Join the edges of this strip with the initial part. Work slip stitch or single crochet to join the two ends.
- The finished punch.
  Use the short end as the "bottom".Work slip stitch from bottom to top.You may need to add or drop a row of single crochets to bring the stripe in this direction.
- Measure or test the piece one more time at this point.Remember that, just as the wrist must fit the person who will wear it, the fist must also be right for the wide part of the hand of the person for whom the hand warmers are intended, so do not make them too tight.Try them if possible.
13
Turn the work sideways and start working on the side of the strip you just made. Single crochet around the edge.You should make enough stitches as many rows as the wide part of the hand.A row can be either the "top" or "bottom" of the rib, and your stitches will probably end up in the middle loops.
14
Try the piece on or measure it again and increase or decrease the number of stitches if necessary. If you have your arm or wrist measurement, you can do the calculation to get the right number of stitches in a round.Always use the same unit of measurement to measure your wrist and links.
- links = links per cm x wrist size in cm
- You can also increase or decrease a little in the following rows if the first row isn't narrow enough to add the palm part.
- Usually, if you have the same number of rows in the fist part as you have stitches in the first row, then it should be fine.
15
Single crochet again and again until you have the desired length. Continue and join each round.
16
Gradually increase and decrease as needed It drops evenly if you are working from the elbow towards the wrist. Increase as you work from the wrist towards the thumb.
- You can raise and lower by measuring or by nose.
- It increases right at the base of the thumb.The loose thread is used to orient the work.
  When you increase for the thumb, make all the stitches on the side of the glove near where the thumb will be.Add one to four stitches per row, as needed.It will help to use the free thread as a thumb base or to place stitch markers.
- If you want to make specific hand warmers for right and left hands, increase before the thumb line or area for one hand and after the line or area for the other hand.This adds extra stitches (and therefore extra space) to the base of the thumb, right where needed and gives the back of the glove a neat look, without the irregular lines that increases will produce.
17
Make a parting at the base of the thumb. Try the hand warmers again and, when the tube of stitches reaches the membrane between the thumb and forefinger or a comfortable distance above this, pass the thread through.Decide where you would like to attach the connecting piece on each side, and mark the stitches.(See How to Mark Connection Points.)
18
Work up to the first stitch you marked. When you reach it, stop and chain across the membrane between your thumb and forefinger.Work slip stitch over the marked stitch on the other side.
19
Try the glove again and add or remove stitches if it feels too tight or too loose.
20
From here, continue to single crochet around the fingers only, but only around the finger openings. Work on the chain you just made instead of going around the entire thumb.The fingers are pretty straight, so you won't need much rising or falling here.
- Next add the thumb tube.
  You can add a thumb tube later separately if you want.Add new thread and work around the opening.
21
Optional for fingerless hand warmers: Create an opening for your little finger.This is very similar to the opening you made for the thumb.Allows the finger tube to extend longer leaving the little finger out, to move separately.It might be what you want if you're making fingerless hand warmers for playing an instrument, typing on the computer, crocheting, or doing another craft.
- Try on the glove to open the little finger.The thumb is not on the same plane as the other fingers, so it helps to have the thumb in its opening to make the opening for the little finger in the right position.
- Skip this step if you are working with closed knobs.
22
Optional for open finger hand warmers, stop working in the tube just below the knuckles. Work a few more rows back and forth on the back of the hand to keep the hand warm while the fingers are free to move.

Advice

If you're not sure, make the hand warmers a little tight.Crocheted fabric gives way.
To make closed mittens, continue to work in a single tube stitch all the way up to the fingers, dropping towards the end, especially on the little finger side.
