different colors (or 1 skein each

of 4 different colors of embroi-

To test your gauge you can just

finish the first rnd and then check

to see if it is about the same cir-

cumference as the bottom of your

lip balm, if it is pretty close then

you are good. If it is way too big

then size down your hook and if it

is way too small then size up your

hook.

St(s) – stitch(es)

Ch – chain

Sc – single crochet
