2. Thumb Section: Worked separately with single and half double crochet.
3. Ribbed Band: Added at the end for a more comfortable and aesthetic finish.

Creating the Hand Section

1. Chain Foundation:
   • Start with an even number of chains based on hand size (24 for medium, 22 for small, 26 for large).
   • Slip stitch to form a circle, ensuring no twists.

1. Round 1:
   • Work half double crochet into the back bumps of the chain.
   • Slip stitch to join.
2. Subsequent Rounds:
   • Rounds 2 to 4: Continue with half double crochet, placing the first and last stitch carefully to maintain a straight seam.
   • Round 5: Increase round, adding 4 stitches evenly.
   • Round 6: Another increase round, adding 2 stitches.
   • Round 7: Create the thumb gap using double crochet.
   • Round 8: Return to half double crochet, working over the thumb gap.
   • Rounds 9 to 10: Simple half double crochet rounds.

Adding the Thumb

1. Attach Yarn:
   • Use a standing single crochet to attach yarn at the thumb gap.
2. Thumb Rounds:
   • Round 1: Single crochet around the thumb gap, distributing evenly.
   • Round 2: Half double crochet in each stitch.
   • Rounds 3: Optional round for longer thumbs, recommend single crochet.

Invisible Join: Utilize invisible join techniques for a cleaner finish.

Creating the Ribbed Band

1. Attach Yarn:
   • Near the seam with a standing half double crochet.
2. Ribbing:
   • Chain 11, skip the first chain, and single crochet in the second chain from the hook and the next 9 chains.
   • Slip stitch twice to attach to base.
3. Pattern Repeat:
   • Continue working back loop single crochet and single crochet all the way until the band is complete.

Finishing Touches

1. Closing Gaps:
   • Use the tails to sew any gaps near the thumb section.
2. Joining Ribbing:
   • Slip stitch to join ribbed band ends neatly.

Creating the Right Hand Glove
