INFO
When crocheting garments, it is important to adhere to the specified gauge to ensure the tie is not too long or too short. The kit is carefully calculated based on the measurements and gauge provided in the pattern. Deviations from this will affect the amount of yarn used.
Therefore, we recommend making a guage swatch in tapestry crochet before starting on the tie. If the gauge does not match the specified gauge, you may need to adjust the size of the hook to achieve the correct gauge.
