Note Gauge accuracy is not critical. This pattern is all-purpose, and ANY LION BRAND YARN can be used! The thickness of the yarn determines diameter of Rosette. Use the recommended
crochet hook size found on the label of your LION BRAND yarn.
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 fewer 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.
