Crochet GaugeThe measurement after row 1 is the most important part of this pattern! Keep your chain LOOSE and go up a hook size for the chain ONLY if necessary. That being said, you don’t want it so loose that it looks sloppy later. You’ll definitely want to do this gauge swatch pattern before you start:

Row 1: Loosely ch-17, dc in 3rd ch from hook (counts as V-st), * sk next ch, 2dc in next * repeat between * * to end. (8 V-sts) Pull to relax stitches – when stretched it should measure ~ 5.75”.

Rows 2 – 10: turn, sl st into first V-st, ch-3, dc in same. 2dc in each V-st to end. (8 V-sts)

When stretched width-wise, 5 ½ V-sts = 4”

Gauge is the trickiest part to this pattern, but once you get that nailed down the rest is a breeze!
