Half Double Crochet—Yarn over, draw up a loop in st, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Slip Stitch—Insert hook in next st, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.

Blocking—Pin the garment, with rust proof pins, wrong side out, on a pressing board in exactly the measurements desired. Place a damp cloth over garment and with a moderately hot iron, press lightly, allowing the steam to go through. Lay on a flat surface until thoroughly dry.

Needle Gauge—When making a garment—work a swatch, using the needles called for to determine whether or not your work measures the same number of stitches to the inch as given in the scale. Change size of needles accordingly.

When Using Colors—In changing color always K the first row on right side regardless of pattern.
