| Helpful Hints for Cro-Knit / Cro-Hook
1.Work LOOSELY..other wise it is difficult to pick up loops on the next row
2.Each ball of yarn is usedtwo rows at a time..first to work off loops, then to pick up loops
3.When all loops are on hook..it is time to slide work to opposite end of needle and TURN.
4.Always work to gauge but work loosely, especially when working off loops
5.Count loops at end of every loop row..it is easy to miss one
6.Check gauge before starting and while working. Do not hesitate to change hook size.
7. Abbreviations and symbols for Cro-Knit are the same as for crochet
