GAUGE:

Exact gauge is essential for
your project to be proper size.
As you begin your project, make a
sample swatch per the instructions
counting your stitches and rows

or smaller than specified, change
the hook size and make another
swatch to get the correct gauge.
Keep trying until you find the
hook size that will give you the
specified gauge.
