Tried my best to explain the pattern. Hope it is useful to you!
You never put the hook size in your patterns, is that because everybody is different. Like me for an 8-ply yarn, doing an amigurumi, I prefer a 4 mm hook, and it just comes out bigger, is this okay, or am I doing it wrong.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteFor amigurumi, the hook size and yarn size doesn't really matter as it will just produce a smaller or bigger toy (unless you are very particular about the size of the toy)
For things like bags/wristlet, size do matter so I used a gauge. I did not use hook or yarn size because different people have different ways of crocheting, some crochet it tighter and some crochet it looser. So they will produce bags/wristlets of different sizes even if they used the same yarn/hook. So by using a gauge, they can just find a suitable size hook and yarn which produces the same length as the gauge with their crocheting style.
I hope I did not confused you :P feel free to correct me if I am wrong. :)
