The content of the article

Colds make us dress warmer and hide open areas of the body. The head is in a hat, neck - in a scarf or snood, and hands - in gloves, mittens or mittens.

Each of the details of the winter wardrobe has its size. But there is no single world standard for them. Therefore, buyers/needlewomen are guided by their own measurements before choosing/creating a specific model.

It turns out that gloves or mittens are not so easy to choose without the presence of a person who needs them. You should know the measurements of his palms if you are looking for mittens, and the distances between the middle and thumb, if gloves.

How to measure the palm of the hand for the size of mittens and gloves?

flexible meter - the main tool for measuring the circumference of the palm to determine the size of mittens and gloves

The main indicator in determining the size of gloves and mittens is the girth of a person’s palm in the widest area.

Arm yourself with a soft meter ribbon or segment of yarn.

Place the measuring material around the palm. Since they have a different shape, the widest place may differ in individuals. It is:

area under the base of 4 fingers
the zone with one point between the thumb and the index and the second is on the edge of the palm, which is located above the wrist by approximately 2 cm

During the measurement, do not tighten the tape/thread so that your hands are not crowded in gloves or mittens.

Perform a similar action with the second hand. You may differ in the numbers. Focus on the number that is larger.

Determine the length of the circumference of the palm in centimeters or millimeters.
Divide the number by 2.71 or 27, respectively.
Get the size in French inches. Trick it to the whole number or the first after the decimal. A number of foreign manufacturers use this unit of measurement in the manufacture of mittens and gloves. Domestic warm things for hands are often marked in Latin letters.

Pay attention to:

materials of mittens and gloves. For example, the skin stretches and takes the shape of a brush, because the product from it should not be bought more by 2 sizes. And warm mittens with fleece lining, on the contrary, take in size with a margin so that the fingers can move,
their preferences in the sock.

Do not measure your palm with an inch gradation ribbon. It corresponds to the English system and more French.

Typically, the left column is the value of the width of the palm, and the right one is the standard of the corresponding size in a particular manufacturer of things for hand insulation.

Pay attention to the country of production of gloves and mittens before buying them. For example, Chinese models are excessively small.

Before knitting warm things for the hands of the needlewoman, the palms are measured and look at the table of their size.

Pay attention to the thickness and length of the yarn for knitting and the presence of a pattern. For example, braids on mittens slightly draw a canvas. Consider this before you start working on gloves or mittens.

a detailed description of removing the measurements of the hand before knitting the mittens with knitting needles

Before you start knitting gloves, you need to remove the measurements from the palm of the person for whom you will knit:

girth of a palm without a thumb
crossing the wrist
height from the wrist to the base of the thumb
distance from the wrist to the point between the little finger and the ring fingers
height from the wrist to the point between the index and middle fingers

Tie a control sample in a circle on 5 knitting needles of selected yarn. Determine the density of knitting horizontally and vertical.

Transfer your measurements into the number of loops, round to the whole way. Pay attention to the wrist area. In it, the number of loops should be divided by 4.

To tie the mittens measure:

girth of a palm without a thumb
height from the wrist to the base of the thumb
distance from the wrist to the tip of the little finger
the length of the thumb on the inside

Translate the data obtained in centimeters into the number of loops after performing the control sample and determining the density of its knitting.

So, we figured out the issue of determining the size of gloves and mittens for children and adults. We learned to take measurements correctly before creating related models.

Warm your hands with comfortable mittens and gloves!
