Gauge is important to your project so your finished piece will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The hook size for the pattern is based on what I used, but gauge can vary from person to person and be affected by yarn. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make 4”, try using a smaller size hook; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook.

Stitches and Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • ch(s) – chain(s)
  • dc – double crochet
  • FLO – front loop only
  • RS – right side
  • shell st – shell stitch (5 double crochet all in the same stitch)
  • sk – skip
  • sp – space
  • st(s) – stitch(es)
  • v-st – v-stitch (double crochet, chain 1, double crochet, all in the same stitch)
  • WS – wrong side

Notes:

  • Pattern is in written instructions with a picture tutorial to seam pocket together and to mount the piece on the dowel and hanger.
  • Stitches between [ ] are to be repeated total number of times indicated.
  • Stitches between ( ) are to all be worked in the same stitch.
  • Stitches with the number appearing first will all be worked into the same stitch. For example, 5dc would be 5 double crochet all worked in the same stitch. Whereas, dc 5 would be one double crochet worked into each of the next five stitches.
  • I always use whip stitches for any sections that are sewn together.
