Notes: Always join with a SL ST to first stitch of round (this means you
will also be working your first stitches of each RND into the same
stitch you joined to).
Gauge: (Please check your gauge as I crochet kind of tight)
Using “P” hook and DC with Super Bulky Yarn
3.5 stitches to 2 inches
To obtain gauge:
Make a chain a little over 2 inches. Do 1 HDC in 2nd CH from hook
and across. CH1 turn and HDC across until your swatch is a little over
2 inches. Then with your ruler count how many stitches you have in 2
inches. Adjust if needed to obtain my gauge above.
