* guIDeLIneS OnLy: The above reflect the most commonly used gauges and needle or hook sizes for specific yarn categories. ** Lace weight yarns are usually knitted or crocheted on larger needles and hooks to create lacy, openwork patterns. always follow the gauge stated in your pattern. *** Steel crochet hooks are sized differently from regular hooks - the higher the number, the smaller the hook, which is the reverse of regular hook sizing.

Skill Levels
Projects for first-time knitters or crocheters using basic stitches. Minimal shaping. Projects using basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing. Projects with a variety of stitches and techniques such as basic cables and lace, simple intarsia and double pointed needles for knitting. Crochet projects may involve basic lace patterns or color-patterns, mid-level shaping and finishing. Projects using advanced techniques and stitches such as short rows, fair isle, more intricate intarsia and cables and numerous color changes for knitting. Crochet projects may involve non repeating patterns, multi-color techniques, fine threads, small hooks, detailed shaping and refined finishing.

HeLPFuL HInTS
DETERMINING SIZE: Begin with chest measurement. Compare measurement to the To fit chest measurement size line in your pattern and choose the closest match. Chest Measurement (A) Measure crease right under underarm, keeping the tape straight across the back. Waist Measurement (B) Tie a piece of string around the childs waist as a guide line. If you have problems finding the natural waistline, bend sideways the crease that forms is the waistline. Wrist to Underarm (C) Measure from the wrist along the inside of the arm to approximately 1 inch [2.5 cm] from the underarm crease. This is the sleeve measurement. Before you begin to knit or crochet, check your tension by making a test swatch and adjusting needle or hook size, if necessary, to obtain the tension quoted in the pattern. Inaccurate tension results in an item too large or too small. Even a variation of half a stitch makes an obvious difference in the finished size.
(Example knit tension swatch shown: 17 sts and 21 rows).
