Lion Brand^® Lion^® Crochet Cotton

GAUGE:

After 5 rows, Shawl should measure approximately 6 inches across top and 3 inches from center of top to bottom of point.

NOTE
Entire Shawl is worked holding 2 strands of thread together.

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.
