Scissors
Hook
Crochet Hook
Crafter Needle
1 Skein of Yarn

Terms:
C: Cast On
K: Knit
P: Purl

Fingers:

Starting at one end and using a divider to make room for 8 pegs to be worked with for a single finger.
Row 1-10(Index Finger): C8, K8 for 10 rows Cut yarn and move stitch on divider to ones side or the other. Turn divider around and add the other divider to make room for 8 pegs to be worked with.
Row 1-10 or 15(Middle Finger): C8, K8 for 10-15 rows depending on your preference. Cut yarn and move stitches from dividers to one side or the other to open dividers to work on the next 8 pegs for the ring finger. Flip one divider around closest to the middle finger and then add the other divider where the next 8 pegs are to be worked on.
Row 1-10 (Ring Finger): C8, K8 for 10 rows. Cut yarn and move the stitches from dividers to one side or the other to open up dividers to work on the next 8 pegs for the pinky. Flip the divider closest to the ring finger, and the second divider is now no longer needed.
Row 1-7 (Pinky Finger): C8, K8 for 7 rows. Move stitch on divider to one side or the other and remove divider from loom.  Now is the start of working the rest of the glove, so we will start to work circular around the whole loom, note do not cut yarn just continue in the direction you were going.
