For best results, be sure to use the yarnrecommended in the pattern, and purchaseenough of one dye lot to complete yourproject. It is a good idea to retain ball bands incase of inquiry.

Before you begin to crochet check your gaugeby making a test swatch and adjusting hooksize, if necessary, to obtain the gauge quotedin the pattern. Inaccurate gauge results in anitem too large or too small. Even a variation ofhalf a stitch makes an obvious difference in thefinished size.

(Example tension swatch shown is for 12 sc and 13 rows)

* GUIDELINES ONLY: The above reflect the most commonly used gauges and needle or hook sizes for specific yarn categories.

** Lace weight yarns are usually knitted or crocheted on larger needles and hooks to create lacy, openwork patterns. Always

follow the gauge stated in your pattern.

*** Steel crochet hooks are sized differently from regular hooks - the higher the number, the smaller the hook, which is the reverse

of regular hook sizing.

Projects for first-time crocheters using basic stitches. Minimal shaping.

Projects using basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.

Crochet projects may involve basic lace patterns or color-patterns, mid-levelshaping and finishing.

Crochet projects may involve non repeating patterns, multi-color techniques, finethreads, small hooks, detailed shaping and refined finishing.
