PATTERN NOTES

Coat crochet hook with a small amount of baby powder or hand lotion so yarn will slide easily on hook. Reapply as needed as work progresses. Aluminum crochet hooks are recommende­d for this project. To fit handles of larger standard hook sizes, add repeats of row 2; to fit smaller standard hooks, decrease repeats of row 2. For a longer or shorter Cozy, increase or decrease number of beginning chains. Weave in ends with darning needle with latch hook eye.
