Crochet-Along
What is a crochet-along? A crochet-along (CAL) is a crochet project that multiple people participate in simultaneously. A pattern is generally released over a period of time, e.g. weekly, monthly, etc. The time period would be largely dependent upon the size and complexity of the item being made. CALs are fun, because there is always someone in the group that is willing to assist those who are less experienced. Those who participate are encouraged to post pictures of their Work in Progress (WIP) as this encourages and motivates others in the group. It is also a good way for beginners to learn new stitches and stitch combinations.
Overview of the Ebb & Flow CAL

Finished Size
ColourSpun Pure Cotton DK Approximately 125 x 125 cm (49 x 49 inches) before blocking.
Stylecraft Special DK Approximately 120 x 120 cm (47 x 47 inches) before blocking.
Gauge To ensure that you don’t run out of yarn, it is important that you work to the same gauge as in the sample.
ColourSpun Pure Cotton DK Gauge worked in sc and measured over 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) must be: 20 rows x 17 sts
Stylecraft Special DK Gauge worked in sc and measured over 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) must be: 20 rows x 17 sts
Hook Size Adjust your hook size to accommodate your own gauge/tension.
• If you have a loose tension, it is recommended that you adjust your hook size down from the recommended sizes in this pattern. If you are finding it difficult to obtain the correct gauge you may wish to buy extra yarn in the same dye lot to accommodate this.
• If you have a particularly tight tension, you may wish to adjust your hook size up.

Yarn Weight If you decide to use a different weight yarn to that as specified above, your Ebb & Flow will not be the same size as the sample made in this pattern. Please ensure that you are using the correct weight yarn before starting. This, together with gauge, is very important. If you are unsure of what weight your yarn is, please check the label for the meterage/yardage: approximately 125 meters / 137 yards per 100g ball of ColourSpun DK for Option 1 or approximately 295 meters / 322 yards per 100g ball of Stylecraft Special DK. For Option 2. You may use any brand of DK yarn if it meets the meterage/yardage requirements specified above.

Care Instructions and Blocking
ColourSpun Please click or tap here for detailed information.
Stylecraft Machine Wash - Wool Wash - 40°C , Dry Clean - P Bar , Tumble Dry - Low Heat , Cool Iron.
Why Block? It is my considered opinion that blocking of most projects is a very important step towards achieving a professional finish. If you would like to know more about this important process, please download a document I have prepared about this subject. This project will benefit from blocking. This is because of the complex mix of textures and stitches especially the corners. This will help the post-stitches to settle. Give the corners a good tug when blocking and the throw will form a perfect square.

Acknowledgements
Testers A huge thank you goes to the following lovely and talented ladies who tested the pattern for me:
• Ingrid Rosendahl

• Valerie Burton
They did this so willingly and with so much enthusiasm. I am truly grateful to them for their ongoing support.
Resources Thank you to The Craft and Yarn Council’s web site www.craftyarncouncil.com, which has been a great resource.
Inspiration Most of the inspiration came from many, many years of crafting with crochet. I thank my late “Ouma” – Gertie Kaltenbrunn, and my mother, Beryl Kaltenbrunn for their tuition over the years. My granddaughter Neave Weston inspired me to start to design and document my work. This pattern is dedicated to them.
