Methods for determining the size of mittens and gloves.

Winter is just around the corner; in some areas the first snow has fallen quite some time ago. This means that it’s time to warm up, that is, buy or knit gloves and mittens. Nowadays, most people order new clothes from various online resources. In this article we will help you decide on the size of gloves.

The hand measurement scheme itself is very simple. It is necessary to take the following measurements:

• The volume of the hand is from the index finger to the little finger. Keep in mind that the measuring tape should go strictly along the bones.
• After this, determine the distance from the beginning of the hand to the tip of the middle finger.
• Measure the distance from your little finger to your wrist. After this, measure the length of your thumb.
• You will also need the distance from the beginning of the thumb to the wrist.

The easiest way to do this is on paper. To do this, spread a sheet of A4 paper on a hard surface and place your palm on it. Outline the outline up to the wrist. Fingers should be slightly apart.

Sizes of mittens and gloves for children, women and men: table

There is a special table that can be used to determine the size of mittens and gloves. This system of sizing was first invented in France. Dimensions correspond to wrist size in inches. To determine the size according to the table, it is enough to measure the full circumference of the palm in the area of ​​​​the bones, where the index finger and little finger begin. Find in the table the resulting numerical value and the size that corresponds to it.

How to determine the size of mittens using the table?

The procedure for determining the size of mittens:

• Palm circumference (measure the widest part along the bones)
• Wrist size
• Palm length from wrist to tip of middle finger
• Hand length from wrist to thumb
• Length of the thumb from the beginning to the tip of the finger

How to calculate the size of a mitten for knitting?

Everything is quite simple. You can determine the size based on the measurements of your hand. This takes into account the thickness of the yarn and the diameter of the knitting needles. The tighter the knit, the more yarn you need. At the same time, knitting patterns such as plaits and braids increases wool consumption by 30-40%.

On average, knitting women's mittens requires 100-120 g of yarn. In order to knit children's mittens, you need 60-70 g of thread. The number of loops for knitting mittens can be found in the table. In this case, knitting usually starts with a brush and is carried out in a circle on 5 knitting needles.

To knit the cuff, use elastic knitting. To do this, knit through one front and back loops. This knitting allows the cuff to stretch when put on.

This table will help you figure out how to knit mittens for adults and children. It indicates the exact number of loops for knitting all the details. That is, how many loops are needed to knit the thumb, hand and palm. The table shows the sizes of children's, men's and women's mittens.

Determining the size of mittens and gloves is quite simple. To do this, you need to measure the volume of your wrist and the length from the hand to the tip of the middle finger.

Determining the size of fur hats

Headgear size is determined using the metric system by measuring the circumference of the head using a measuring tape. Wrap the measuring tape around your head so that it extends over your eyebrows, across the tips of your ears, and across the back of your head. Record the reading at the intersection of the tape and this will be the metric size of your head. The table of hat sizes below shows the international and metric standard sizes; if you know one of these methods, it is easy to calculate the other using this table.

Full fur hats

If you like all-fur hats, be sure to write the exact head size in the metric system in the order comments during checkout. This is necessary so that we can more accurately select the size, since all-fur hats do not have a stretchy base and require accurate data on the size of the head.

Knitted hats

Regarding fur hats, which have a knitted base at the base, they are less demanding on exact sizes, since they have the ability to stretch, which makes it possible to easily select the size of a fur hat by choosing one of the suggested suitable sizes on the product page.

Sizes of mittens or gloves

The sizes of Gloves and Mittens are usually indicated in French inches, but for convenience we will use our native Russian centimeters. To determine the size, use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your hand, in the middle of your palm as close as possible to the base of your thumb, do not tighten the tape too much. Be sure to use a centimeter scale to avoid errors. Record the result at the intersection of the tape and check it with the table of sizes of mittens and gloves located below.

Don't have your size?

If on the product page there is no choice of the size of mittens that you want to order, then choose any one, and when placing an order, indicate in the comments the size that interests you. If you are interested in mittens with a knitted base and the size is not on the selection list, and the difference is 1 or 2 centimeters, then confidently choose the size of mittens that is closer to yours in the list. Thanks to the knitted base, which has the ability to stretch, choosing a size is easier.

Sizes of vests or fur coats

The sizes of fur vests and fur coats are determined by three indicators: chest, waist and hips. To accurately determine the size, be sure to take all measurements using a measuring tape (required measurements are located in the table below). If the measurements differ from the sizes indicated in the table, then choose the one that comes closest to yours. But still, we strongly recommend that you enter all the measurements that you recorded in the comments when placing your order, it is advisable to also indicate your height. When ordering fur coats, you also need to measure the length of your arm from the shoulder to the base of the hand and also indicate it in the comments to the order.

Vests or fur coats

Are accurate measurements required???

As they say, "Precision is the politeness of kings!!" Accurate measurements are required, as there is a risk of choosing the wrong size of a fur vest or fur coat, which can result in unnecessary costs of money and time for returning the goods.

Determining the size of fur slippers and booties

The size of fur slippers or booties is determined using the metric system that is well known to us. To measure, we need a sheet of A4 paper, a pen or pencil and a thirty-centimeter ruler or measuring tape. To begin, lay the sheet on a flat floor surface, place your foot on the sheet and trace it with a pencil or pen. You will get a silhouette on the sheet, attach a ruler or measuring tape to the drawing so that the ends of the ruler fall on the most distant parts of the drawing of the foot. Record the result in centimeters and this will be the size of your foot in the metric system. Below are sizing charts in case you know the general standard for your size and don't really want to bother with measurements.

No size listed?!

Sizes for fur slippers and booties are not particularly demanding on exact measurements, as they are slightly elastic. If you are a supporter of accurate data, and your size is not in the selection list, then simply indicate the exact size in the comments to the order during checkout. It is worth noting that as the size increases, the cost of fur slippers will increase, since they contain more consumables.

Features of determining palm size for choosing mittens and gloves for children, women and men.

The cold forces us to dress warmer and hide exposed areas of the body. The head is in a hat, the neck is in a scarf or snood, and the hands are in gloves, mittens or mittens.

Each piece of a winter wardrobe has its own size. But there is no single global standard for them. Therefore, buyers/craftswomen rely on their own measurements before choosing/creating a specific model.

It turns out that choosing gloves or mittens is not so easy without the presence of the person who needs them. You should know the measurements of his palm if you are looking for mittens, and the distance between the middle and thumb if you are wearing gloves.

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

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

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

Arm yourself with a soft meter tape or a piece of yarn.

Place the measuring material around your palm. Because they have different shapes, the widest point may vary from person to person. It's either:

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

When measuring, do not tighten the tape/thread so that your hands are not cramped in gloves or mittens.

Perform the same action with the second hand. Your numbers may vary. Focus on the number that is larger.

• Determine the circumference of your palm in centimeters or millimeters.
• Divide the number by 2.71 or 27 respectively.
• Get the size in French inches. Round it to the nearest whole number or the first decimal point. A number of foreign manufacturers use this unit of measurement in the manufacture of mittens and gloves. Domestic warm items for hands are often marked with Latin letters.

Pay attention to:

• material of mittens and gloves. For example, leather stretches and takes the shape of a brush, so a product made from it should not be purchased 2 sizes larger. On the contrary, warm mittens with a fleece lining - take them in a size with a margin so that your fingers can move,
• your wearing preferences.

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

How to determine the size of mittens and gloves using the table?

If you have a palm circumference in centimeters, it will not be difficult for you to navigate the size of gloves and mittens according to the table of any manufacturer.

Typically, the left column is the palm width value, and the right column is the standard size corresponding to it from a particular manufacturer of hand warming items.

Pay attention to the country of manufacture of gloves and mittens before purchasing them. For example, Chinese models are extremely small.

Sizes of mittens and gloves for children, men and women: table

Before starting to knit warm clothes for the hands, needlewomen take measurements of the palm and look at the table of their sizes.

Pay attention to the thickness and length of the knitting yarn and the presence of a pattern. For example, braids on mittens slightly retract the fabric. Keep this in mind before you start working on gloves or mittens.

For size tables of knitted mittens and gloves for adults and children, see below.

How to calculate the size of a mitten or glove for knitting?

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

• palm circumference without thumb
• wrist circumference
• distance from the wrist to the point between the little and ring fingers
• height from the wrist to the point between the index and middle fingers

Knit a control sample in the round on 5 knitting needles from selected yarn. Determine the knitting density horizontally and vertically.

Convert your measurements into the number of loops, round down to whole numbers. Pay attention to the wrist area. The number of loops in it should be divided by 4.

To knit mittens, measure:

• palm circumference without thumb
• height from wrist to base of thumb
• distance from wrist to tip of little finger
• inner length of thumb

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

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

How to determine the size of children's gloves?

It is very important to choose the correct glove size for your child. If you buy large gloves, they will constantly slip off and not warm your hands well. Small children's gloves squeeze blood vessels and do not stretch well. To avoid making the wrong purchase, always use the size chart below.

To choose the right one children's gloves size, you need to measure the circumference of your palm (as shown in the picture on the right). To do this, take a measuring tape and wrap your child's hand around four fingers ( take measurements without your thumb, otherwise the calculations will be incorrect). Compare the resulting value with the data in the table.

An individual child's hand may differ slightly from the data in the table, so they are presented as “standard”. We recommend trying on gloves in the store before purchasing, so you will definitely buy the right size.

Children's gloves size by age

Using the table above, you can determine the size by age. This method is convenient if you do not have the opportunity to measure the circumference of your palm (you are buying a gift).

Determining glove size by age may not always be accurate. All children grow differently; if a child has a different build from his peers (more plump or thinner), we recommend using the standard method for determining size.

Choosing quality gloves for a child

To make it comfortable for a child to wear gloves, it is important to choose the right size not only, but also the material, shape and manufacturer. If your child is enrolled in a sports section, you can see how to choose.

It is better to choose natural material (wool, angora) with synthetic additives. These gloves will keep their shape for a long time, are pleasant to the touch and stretch well. They will perfectly protect you from frost and wind.

Choose gloves for your child for all occasions: cycling, winter walks, snowball fights, sporting events. Gloves, like all clothes, should be liked by the child in appearance, otherwise he will be capricious and not want to wear them. Take your child shopping with you and choose clothes with him.

In order to determine your clothing size, you need to take several measurements and then compare them with the data in the size tables. If you have questions about choosing a size, and even more so doubts, be sure to use the help of an online consultant or call us, experienced managers will help you choose the size and answer all your questions.

1. Chest circumference (CG). Stand up straight, breathe calmly. Pass the measuring tape without tension from behind under the shoulder blades, under the armpits and in front along the most convex part of the chest. Record the value of the tape. For women, the same procedure should be done, but with moderate tension.

2. Waist circumference (WT). Straighten up, relax your stomach, breathe calmly. Without tension, pass the measuring tape under your lower ribs, following your natural waistline. Record the value of the tape.

3. Hip circumference (H). Measured at the most protruding points of the buttocks.

4. Arm length to wrist. Stand straight, press your arm to your body, bending it at the elbow at an angle of 90°. The measuring tape is passed from the intersection of the shoulder line, through the elbow to the beginning of the wrist.

5. Side seam length- this is the length of the seam from the armpit to the edge of the product (sometimes to the floor)

Height. Stand up straight, take off your shoes, and place your feet together. Height is measured from the top of the head to the soles of the feet (this is best done while pressed against the wall).
