GAUGE:
11 half double crochet = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match
the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the
materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to
make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and
rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
