Before measuring your finger, here are a few things to keep in mind:
If you feel your knuckle is too large, always order half a size bigger than your actual finger size.
The finger size may also differ according to the temperature. Your skin tends to expand and contract in hot and cold temperatures accordingly. Hence, make sure to measure and note the reading twice or thrice.
