YOU WILL NEED
●● 50g balls of Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK (As seen on cover)
. 2 × A - Light Caramel
. 1 × B - Midnight Blue

TENSION (GAUGE)
23 stitches and 27 rows to 10 cm, 4 in, measured over
double crochet (single crochet) using a 3.5mm (UK 9 – US
E/4) crochet hook, or size required to give correct tension
(gauge).
It is vitally important to check your tension (gauge) before
starting as working to the wrong tension (gauge) will mean
your item 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 a thicker
hook. If there are fewer stitches and rows than stated, try
again using a thinner hook.
●● Paintbox Yarns cannot accept responsibility for the finished
itemif any yarn other than the recommended yarn is used.
●● Yarn quantities are based on average requirements and are
therefore approximate.
●● Color reproduction is as close as printing processes allow.
●● Instructions are written using UK terminology with changes
for US terminology given in italics in round brackets ( )
afterwards.
●● Repeat figures in round brackets ( ) the number of times
stated afterwards.
