If not, make it whatever number your chain started with), join. *Ch 3, dc around, dec 4 times evenly around, join. Repeat from * once. Fasten off. Bottom section should fit close to your arm.

I love the gloves but are they for little girls or grown women? I can't tell. (Hope they would fit my college age daughter!)

They are for grown women.

I would love to make these for a toddler. How can I do that?

Hi Amy, The way you could make them fit larger or smaller is starting with that first chain you make. If you do a shorter chain and less stitches in the round, you will have a smaller handwarmer. Since most of the directions have you just working the same number of stitches around or back and forth, if you start with less stitches you will end up with a smaller tube
