Skill Level: Intermediate 

Size: Women's
As a guide the circumference measurements of my hands are as follows; 
Around top of hand at knuckles = 8"
Around wrist = 6.5"
If your measurements are larger maybe try going up a hook size? These fit my own hands perfectly.

Supplies: 

Red Heart With Love Yarn, approx. 150-180 yds.

Size H (5.0 mm) Crochet Hook

Tapestry needle
Scissors

Stitches (US terms):

Ch - Chain

Dc - Double Crochet

Dc2tog - Double Crochet 2 Together

Fpdc - Front Post Double Crochet

Bpdc - Back Post Double Crochet

Notes:

-Ch 2 counts as a dc for the end of row stitch count.

-Joins are made with slip stitch & joined to the dc not the ch 2.
-Gauge: 4 stitches & 2 rows = 1"

Row 3 Cable Photo Tutorial (click images to view larger): 

Here's what you should have after you finish row 2:

Row 3: Ch 2, dc in same and in 2 more. Skip 3.

Fptr around next 3.

Now count back 5 stitches, Fptr around the 1st skipped.

Fptr 2nd skipped.

Fptr around 3rd skipped. 

Dc in next 9. This will bring you around to the other side of the glove where you will repeat exactly the same thing: Skip 3, fptr around next 3. Now count back 5 stitches, Fptr around the 1st skipped, fptr 2nd skipped, fptr around 3rd skipped. Dc in last 5. (18 dc, 12 fptr)

Row 4: Ch 2, dc in same and in 2 more. Fpdc around 6. The first 3 fpdc's can be a little difficult, they are hidden behind other stitches.

(first fpdc made)

The 2nd will be hidden even more.

(2nd fpdc made)

And the third is the most hidden, just push those stitches on top to the left a little so you can get to it.

(3rd fpdc made)

(4th fpdc made)

(5th fpdc made)

(6th fpdc made)

Dc in 9, this will bring you around to the other side of the glove and you will repeat the exact steps we just did: Fpdc around 6, dc in last 5. Join. (18 dc, 12 fpdc)
