SIZE: Small (youth or small woman), Medium (average woman), & Large (large woman, average man)

MATERIALS: Size G/6/4.25mm crochet hook, worsted weight/medium/size 4 yarn

GAUGE:  First 7 rows of Wrist Cuff Ribbing = 2 ½ inches wide x 2 inches tall.  

STITCHES/TERMS USED:

• Ch – chain

• Sc – single crochet 

• St(s) – stitch(es) 

• WS – wrong side

• BLO – back loop only

• Sl st – slip stitch 

• Dc – double crochet 

• Sk – skip 

• Dc cl – double crochet cluster 

• Sc dec – single crochet decrease 

NOTES:

1)  Ch 2 at the beginning of each row DOES NOT count as a stitch.

2)  To help keep track of your stitches, the row stitch counts are in parenthesis at the end of each row. Chains are counted as individual stitches, except where you are instructed to “2 sc in ch 4 sp” then the entire ch sp is counted as one and you will work into the next stitch following the ch 4 sp. 

3)  Dc cl: YO, insert hook into st, YO, draw up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops. YO, insert hook into same st, YO, draw up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops, YO, draw through last 3 loops.

4)  Dc in last sk st: Insert the hook into the skipped stitch indicated and continue with your dc in the same manner as the other dc. This binds the two sts together into a cross stitch. see following images.
