GAUGE:

9 inches from point to point. 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:

dc2tog (Yo, insert hook, draw up a loop, yo, draw through 2 loops) 2 times, yo, draw through 3 loops. dc3tog (Yo, insert hook, draw up loop, yo, draw through 2 loops) 3 times, yo, draw through 4 loops.
