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.
