GAUGE:

5 sts = 1" (2.5 cm) on 6/G hook
4 sts = 1" (2.5 cm) on 8/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.

For size small, use 6/G (4 mm) hook. For size medium, use 8/H (5 mm) hook.

 

To change colors, at end of row, before finishing last stitch, complete sc stitch by pulling in new color yarn through last 2 lps on hook, ch 1, turn with new color, carry previous yarn along for 6 to 8 stitches before you fasten it off.
