Gauge
Exact gauge for smallest hook (US Size G-6/4 mm) is not critical for this pattern. Stitches should be small so fiber filling doesn’t show.

5 scBL = 1.25” (3 cm) across with medium hook (US Size H-8/5 mm). For best fit, always check your gauge.

11 dc = 4” (10 cm) across with largest hook (US Size I-9/5.5 mm). For best fit, always check your gauge.
