GAUGE:

12 dc + 7 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm).

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern andthe materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in thepattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from personto person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller sizehook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Making a Gauge Swatch

STITCH EXPLANATION:

dc2tog (dc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and drawthrough 2 loops) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook – 1 st decreased.rev sc (reverse single crochet) Single crochet worked from left to right (right to left, if left­handed).Insert hook into next stitch to the right (left), under loop on hook, and draw up a loop. Yarn over and drawthrough all loops on hook.

NOTES:

1. Cardigan is made in 5 separate pieces: Back, 2 Fronts and 2 Sleeves. Each piece is worked from lower edgeup.2. Back, Fronts and Sleeves are made with A. Edging and collar are made with B.3. To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and drawthrough all loops on hook to complete the st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.

4. When you see '– 12 sts' at the end of a row, this is the number of sts you will have after working thatrow.5. Our pattern includes diagrams to help you visualize how the Cardigan is made and put together. Take thetime to review the diagrams before you start to crochet. The Cardigan is easy to make, but having the bigpicture will make it even easier!
