I am new at crocheting and need help on understanding round 44.
Thank you

Rnd. 44: working across end rows of ribbing, evenly work 35 sc, join to beginning sc, ch 1, do not turn.
After you finish rnd. 43, ch 1, turn……instead of going back down the ribbing, work your sc’s across the top of the ribbing. This starts the part that goes around your hand. Hope this helps,
Carol

Am I doing something wrong? In the picture these gloves look fairly small, but when I made one it is huge! I am using a medium(3) yarn and a size G(4.25) crochet hook. Help please!

These are fairly long…….should cover the arm to about 3/4 way to elbow……for a shorter glove to wrist length, on rnd. 10, reduce the ch 21 to ch 10…….it may also be gauge…….perhaps an F hook may also correct the problem.
