Helpful Hints

For best results, be sure to use the yarn

recommended in the pattern, and purchase
enough of one dye lot to complete your
project. It is a good idea to retain ball bands in
case of inquiry.

Before you begin to crochet check your gauge

by making a test swatch and adjusting hook
size, if necessary, to obtain the gauge quoted
in the pattern. Inaccurate gauge results in an
item too large or too small. Even a variation of
half a stitch makes an obvious difference in the
finished size.

(Example tension swatch shown

is for 12 sc and 13 rows)

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: Bernat® Satin

Machine wash or hand wash in cold water using a mild soap. Machine dry.

Machine Washing: Wash Afghan, preferably on its own, using a delicate cycle,
cool water and detergent. Softener may be added to the final rinse. Do not use
bleach.

Machine Drying: Tumble dry at low setting. Do not overheat.

* = The star symbol is a repeat sign and means that you follow the printed
instructions from the first * until you reach the second *. You will then repeat from
* to * the given number of times which does not include the first time. The ** and
*** are used in the same way.

* 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.

SKILL LEVELS

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