Totally Cool Crochet Beverage Cooler
Lion Brand®
Lion Cotton
GAUGE: 16 sc + 16 rows = 4 inches x 4 inches (10 cm x 10 cm) in sc. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
