Lion Brand® Lion® Suede
GAUGE:
9 hdc2tog + 8 rows = 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 fewer 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
hdc2tog Yarn over hook, insert hook into st, draw up loop, yarn over hook, insert hook
into next st and draw up loop, yarn over hook and draw through all 5 loops on hook.
hdc3tog

next st, draw up a loop) 2 times, yarn over hook and draw through all 7 loops on hook.

This is a FABULOUS pattern. The person below, remember, is talking about knitting. Often yarns like suede that are dificult to knit are a breeze to work with and yarns that are hard to crochet with like boucle are easier to knit. That is why I leared both :-)
