ws = wrong side; yoh = yarn over hook.
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.
