Notes

Gauge and sizing: Gauge & Sizing Notes Don't skip the gauge swatch! For the Blush Pink Spiral Crochet Christmas Ornament with Layered Poinsettia Flower, checking your tension ensures your ornament will have the perfect dimensions, approximately 12 inches in size. While exact gauge may vary by individual, a general guideline is to aim for a consistent stitch count that allows for a pleasing openwork design. If you want to adjust the size, you can increase your starting chain in multiples of 4 to make the ornament wider or narrower as desired. If your swatch is too small, simply go up a hook size to achieve the right tension. Enjoy crafting your beautiful ornament!
