Lion Brand^® Wool-Ease® Sportweight

GAUGE:

12 sc = 4 inches with size H hook. 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:

fpdc = front post double crochet: Yo, insert hook from front to back to front around designated st, yo, draw yarn through, (yo, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook) twice.
