Stitch Gauge
All crocheting is planned according to a specified stitch gauge. We have suggested the size hook with which the average crocheter will obtain the stitch gauge specified in these directions. However, if you do not get the correct gauge with the suggested hook use any size hook which will give you the specified gauge. You MUST work at the stitch gauge given in the directions if you wish your finished work to be the size given.
