4mm (UK 8 - US G6) crochet hook

TENSION (GAUGE)

20 sts and 16 rows measured over 10cm, 4in of alternating

rows of UK treble crochet (US double crochet) and UK double

crochet ( US single crochet) using B and a 4mm (UK 8 - US G6)

hook or size needed to obtain correct tension (gauge).

It is vitally important to check your tension (gauge) before

starting as working to the wrong tension (gauge) will mean

your garment will not be the size shown and could result

in yarn being left over, or more yarn being required. Before

beginning, crochet a tension (gauge) swatch at least 13 cm,

5 in, square and measure your tension (gauge). If there are

more stitches and rows than stated, try again using thicker

hook. If there are fewer stitches and rows than stated, try

again using thinner hook.
