19sts and 24 rows to 10cm (double crochet) on 3.50mm hook or size needed to achieve stated tension.

It is important to check your tension before starting your garment. If there are too many stitches to 10cm, your tension is tight and you should change to a larger size hook. If there are too few, your tension is loose and you should change to a smaller size hook.

It is essential to work to the stated tension, and we cannot accept responsibility for the finished product if any yarn other than the specified yarn is used.
