How to Accurately Measure at Home
- Position Hand: Bring your thumb towards your little finger as if slipping on a rigid bangle, making your hand knuckles as narrow as possible.
- Wrap Tape: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the widest knuckle circumference of your compressed hand. Note the measurement in inches or mm.
- Cross-Reference: Compare your knuckle circumference against the chart above (e.g. 7.46 inches matches Indian size 2.6).
