left-hand needle, keeping
the new stitch (st) on the
right-hand needle.
To knit a row,
repeat steps 1 to 4

Work into front and back of stitch (st)
as follows: Knit stitch (st), then before
slipping it off needle, twist right-hand

Crochet Gauge
Range* in Single
Crochet to 4 inches
* 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.

HELPfuL HINTS

For best results, be sure to use the yarn

recommended in the pattern, and
purchase enough of one dye lot to
complete your project.
It is a good idea to retain ball bands in
case of inquiry.
Before you begin to crochet or knit,
check your gauge by making a test
swatch and adjusting hook or needle
size, if necessary, to obtain the gauge
quoted in the pattern. Inaccurate gauge
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 crochet gauge swatch shown:
14 sts and 8 rows).
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Bernat Handicrafter Cotton
Machine wash. Machine dry.
Machine Washing: Wash the item,
preferably on its own, using a delicate
cycle, cool water and detergent. Softener
may be added to the final rinse. Do not
use bleach.
Machine Drying: Tumble dry at low
setting. Do not overheat.
* = The star symbol is a repeat sign and
means that you follow the printed
instructions from the first * until you
reach the second *. You will then repeat
from * to * the given number of times
which does not include the first time.
The ** and *** are used in the same way.
