Hints:
Before beginning to crochet, align your gauges with one another.
Each person should crochet a small square swatch of dcs using the designated yarn and hook size. Adjust (using hints below) to align sizes
• Each person’s tension naturally varies, especially with those newer to crocheting. You can adjust your tension by pulling the yarn tighter or looser while crocheting
• Usually you will have the same hook size. However, my daughter used a size 5.50 mm (I/9) and I used a hook size 5.00 mm (H/8) to help our gauges to align.
• Blocking can also help even out inconsistencies in gauge by gently stretching the fabric to the desired size/shape.
