Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows in a given area. When making motifs,
the gauge is given in the pattern for the size of the motif or for a certain number of
rounds. When making projects, ensure that your project is the correct finished size and
is to gauge. Work the area as stated in the pattern and then measure to check that it
agrees with the gauge given. If it is not the same size, change your hook size. If motif
is too large, use a smaller hook. If motif is too small, use a larger hook size.

Tips for Washing RED HEART Soft:
Use gentle fabric detergent, such as Ivory, in warm water.

Use less than half of the suggested amount of liquid fabric softener, as too much
softener will cause fiber to stretch.
Tumble dry on low and remove from the dryer before completely dry.
To keep fringe or pompoms looking their best, handwash, lay flat to dry.
The projects in this book were created with RED HEART yarns. For best results, we recommend following
the pattern exactly as written. All instructions have been checked for accuracy; however, Coats & Clark is not
responsible for typographical errors, differences in individual interpretation or other variances in work.

Perfect for new crocheters, these projects use basic stitches and
