Commonly Used Crochet Terms & Abbreviations

Gauge:  Gauge is important!  Gauge means the number of stitches in a square inch. Your gauge depends on the yarn, the size of your crochet hook, and how tightly you make your stitches. The gauge determines the finished size of a crocheted item.

Following the pattern instructions, crochet a 4 inch square in the stitch you will be using.  Measure the number of stitches across as well as the length of your work.  If your work is too small, use a hook one size larger.  If it is too big, use a hook one size smaller.  Experiment until you have the correct gauge.
