32 Helpful Hints

ins For best results, be sure to use the yarnrecommended in the pattern, andpurchase enough of one dye lot tocomplete your project. It is a good idea to retain ball bands incase of inquiry.Before you begin to crochet or knit,check your gauge by making a testswatch and adjusting hook or needlesize, if necessary, to obtain the gaugequoted in the pattern. Inaccurate gaugeresults in an item too large or too small.Even a variation of half a stitch makesan obvious difference in the finished size.

(Example crochet gauge swatch shown:

14 sts and 8 rows).
