Lion Brand Crochet Hook - Size N-13 Lion Brand Crochet Hook - Size K-10.5 Lion Brand Stitch Markers Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE: 6 dc and 5 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] with larger hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
