Yarn Use For These Gloves
I used pure wool yarn, #3 light (light worsted, DK, 8ply) yarn, but you could use other yarns with similar yarn weight.
Pattern Adjustments
Width
This pattern is for a lady's medium size glove with a 7 inch (17.5cm) hand circumference around the knuckles.
The width can easily be increased or decreased by adjusting the number of rows made.
For example, 28 rows of this pattern equal 7 inches (17.5cm) long. If you wanted a smaller or larger width, decrease or increase the number of rows to get your required circumference.
Length
These gloves are about 10 inches (26cm) long if you would like a longer sleeve on the gloves, increase the number of foundation stitches.
The pattern starts with a foundation of 39 stitches and this makes a 10-inch (26cm) long glove.
You can increase the length by adding extra chains in multiples of 2 until you get your desired length.
When working the pattern, include these extra stitches with the 20 single crochet stitches that are worked into the back loop (BL), this will increase the length of the ribbed sleeve, without altering the length and pattern over the hand.
Crochet Stitches
For this pattern you will need to know a few basic crochet stitches, like chain stitch, single crochet, and slip stitch.
Crochet Puff Stitch

Row 29 (work along the edge of the rows) - 1sc into the same space as the last single crochet made in row 28, then evenly work 28 single crochets along the edge of the rows until you come to the end. Do not cut yarn.
Seaming the glove and making the thumb hole
Fold the glove in half lengthwise with the wrong sides facing and matching the stitches down both sides.
Joining the side seam above the thumb
Working down the length of the glove, match the corresponding stitches down the side, and make 1 single crochet into each of the next 7 stitches to join the two.
Thumb hole - Separate front from back and work on a single layer at a time.
Into the front layer make 1 single crochet into each of the next 10 stitches.
Next, on the back half, count and use a stitch marker to mark the 10th stitch down from the side seam just made.
Turn the glove so the back is now facing you, single crochet into the marked stitch, then into the 9 remaining stitches back up to the seam made.
Then turn the glove and single crochet back over the ones made on the first side, this should bring you back down to the unjoined side seam.
Joining the lower side seam
Hold both layers together and continue to single crochet down the glove and into both layers until you reach the end, chain 1, cut yarn, and fasten off.
Repeat the pattern to make a second fingerless glove to complete the set.
Finishing
Use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends.
