Swatch Instructions
Stitch pattern for gauge, measuring a pair of sc/LdcFLO rows:
Ch as many as desired – recommend a minimum of 35.
Row 1: Ch1, sc to end, turn.
Row 2: Ch1, dc in the first st, LdcFLO to last st, Ldc in the last st, turn.
Repeat the 2-row pattern for the desired gauge swatch size.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in).
Certain materials might sag, and fabric may extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.
