This basic pattern is really quick to make and has a lot of stretch to it. I have smallish hands but have also used this as cycling gloves for my brother who does not have smallish hands at all. For larger hands I would suggest going up a needle size.

The cuff is long and provides a nice barrier under a winter coat, or looks stylish folded in half. Yes it takes a while to rib but is well worth the effort.
