YARN HINTS AND TIPS

• Quantities and project measurements are approximate. These projects have been designed for the yarns that are specified in the pa erns. Other yarns are likely to produce different results.

• Using the specified yarn, make a 15cm tension square (see page 179). Use pins or tape to mark a 10cm square inside the edges and count the number of stitches and rows within this space. Check this against the tension recommended in your pa ern. If fewer stitches, use smaller needles to rework swatch until correct; if more stitches, rework swatch with larger needles.

• Check ball bands to ensure all yarn of the same colour is from the same dyelot, and for care instructions.

• Do not press projects when finished, unless otherwise specified.

• Australian/uk crochet abbreviations are used throughout.
