she chose a thicker yarn. i included a picture of the yarn, label and hook i used. one skein did one glove with maybe a yard left over, probably less.
you know i don't know how to follow a pattern much less write one but here's the basics of what i did.
chain 33
skip a chain and do a double, chain two and another double.
skip a stitch and attach to the next stitch in your base chain. repeat until the end of the row.
you will have several mountains. ( i know i am super with technical terms)

for the next layer, place a chain in each high point of your mountains
half double in the back of the next stitch, just the back loop so you get that raised zig zag
and a double in the back loop of the center between the mountains. and so on
i did 11 sets of these two layers and in the last fill layer just crocheted to the first row to close the tube up. remember to leave a space for the thumbs though. . . .yeah, i forgot on the second one.

this is a picture of the closing line from the inside and outside. the inside has this seam and the outside looks continuous. i was pretty impressed since i was making stuff up as i went along.
i still don't get fingerless gloves but i do like them because o can actually make them. my friend wants a pair of piggy fingerless gloves. i'll be working on that one here soon.
