Important Note:
Gauge is very important when crocheting hats – it can mean the difference between a hat being the right size – or, too large or too small for the intended recipient. Using the recommended hook and yarn is an easy way to increase your chances of reaching the gauge specified in your pattern. If you need assistance understanding how to check gauge please view this short video: Measuring Crochet Gauge by Red Heart with Kathleen Sams
