      general information

      How to Use the Project Box

      Each pattern can easily be adapted for a wide variety of projects by changing the length of the starting chain and the number of rows worked. The Stitch Patterns (pages 26–49) are written with the starting chain and number of rows needed for making the Sampler Afghan on page 15. Each Stitch Pattern has a Project Box (like the example on this page) that provides starting chain lengths and other information needed for each project, along with instructions to make a custom size for your own projects. See the sample Project Box below for details on how to use the information it contains. Note: Not all Projects are listed for every Stitch Pattern (Patterns with holes don’t work well for Slippers, etc.).

      Skill Level: Easy

      Hook Size: Suggested hook size listed in Project Box. Note: Different Stitch Patterns may recommend a different hook size than other Stitch Patterns for the same Project.

      Materials:

      Yarn requirements: Listed in the Project Box.

      Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends after fastening off.

      Gauge:

      I/9/5.5mm hook: Gauge swatch (see page 6) is 31/2 inches x 3 inches.

      Project Gauge: Check Row 1 against measurement in Project Box.

      Stitches Used:

      Ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr.

      Tips & Techniques to Improve Your Crochet

      Gauge & Size

      How to Get the Gauge

      Gauge Swatch

      Use this swatch to check against gauge used for sizing in this book.

      Row 1: With size I/9/5.5mm hook and worsted-weight yarn, ch 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. (10 sc)

      Rows 2–10 : Ch 1, sc in each st across.

      This swatch measures 3½ inches × 3 inches.

      Why Gauge Is Important

      Having the same gauge as the instructions is important in getting the same size finished piece as the instructions are intended for. This is especially important for garment sizing and for yarn requirements. A garment will not fit the size intended if not crocheted in the gauge specified in the instructions. A project crocheted with a larger gauge will turn out larger than the size intended and will require more yarn to complete than the instructions call for.

      The Stitch Patterns in this book are easily adapted if you’re having trouble matching the gauge swatch.

      If Your Swatch Is Larger

      Try making the gauge swatch again with a smaller hook.

      If you are still having trouble getting the gauge, then decrease the starting chain length per the instructions at the bottom of the Project Box (see General Information on page 5 for how to use the Project Box). Gauge is critical for sizing garments like the Slippers on page 18. To get the correct height of the piece, rows may need to be subtracted.

      If Your Swatch Is Smaller

      Try making the gauge swatch again with a larger hook.

      If you are still having trouble getting the gauge, then increase the starting chain length per the instructions at the bottom of the Project Box. If needed, add rows to get the correct height measurement of the piece.

      If Your Swatch Now Has the Right Gauge But Looks Like It Has Holes

      This occurs when the tension on the yarn is very tight. The test swatch (below right) needed an N/13/9mm hook to get the width of the gauge swatch that used an I hook. Notice how it looks like there are holes between the single crochets.

      For projects in this book, the finished size of the piece prior to assembly is important for sizing (not the number of stitches in the starting chain or number of rows used). Use the hook size needed to obtain gauge and work the Stitch Patterns as instructed with the starting chain and end row listed in the Project Box. Or use the hook size that is comfortable and adjust the length of the starting chain per the instructions at the bottom of the Project Box. Adjust the end row to get the needed measurements for the piece.

      Experimenting With Size

      Hook Size

      Yarn manufacturers often put a recommended hook size on the yarn label. The worsted-weight yarn used in this book has a recommended hook size of I/9/5.5mm. In the Project Box included with each Stitch Pattern there is a column for hook and a column for yarn requirements. Not all projects that use worsted-weight yarn use an I hook. That is because different effects can be obtained with different sizes of hooks.

      The three swatches below (made the same as the Gauge Swatch on page 6) use G, I and K hooks.
