F I R S T A N D F O R E M O S T
The most important thing to know about my designs is GAUGE. You will notice that most of my patterns are specifically designed for bed sizes (tops or draped), throw sizes and scarves/pillows. The combination of gauge and yarn type is crucial in achieving the finished size. There are instructions inside of the pattern PDF on how to make swatches.

My gauges for LFC
refer to the DC’s. Even though it isn’t mentioned, it does include the chains in between them.

What’s Inside
Front cover, multiple page graph/chart, abbreviations, instructions for this technique with picture tutorial, full row by row written instructions (click here for example). (Note: If this is MOCRO or MOKNIT pattern, the written is in colored block style with detailed instructions on how to read/understand them).

Are you left handed?
Just read each row of written in reverse order! The “move AC” stays the SAME.

Pattern Accuracy
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this pattern and its instructions. Since this design is created by hand, human error can (and often will) occur. I will not be held responsible for inaccuracies, or held responsible for the workmanship of the crocheter/knitter. If you find any pattern mistakes, I encourage you to please contact me right away so that I can fix them as soon as possible: theplasticcanvasgal@yahoo.com. You can find an errata post in my Facebook Group under “announcements”.

If you are a designer
It is illegal to copy/reproduce design elements from this work. Variations will happen, but cannot be exact. Technique terms such as “LFC”, “Locking Filet Crochet”, “MOCRO” and “MOKNIT” are not permissible to use when explaining or titling the technique in association with your own designs. Edging/Borders that are contained inside of my charts/graphs are not permissible to use for your own designs. There are endless options for edging that you can come up with on your own.

Non-Designers
If you see other designs that are copied or are a reproduction of my work, please submit details to my email so that it can be investigated further. This help is greatly appreciated.

Pattern Updates & Revisions
Patterns may be updated or revised at any time due to errors or layout changes of pages and logos. If you purchased a pattern that you think might have errors, you can email me to see if there have been any errata’s. Please provide 1) purchase name, 2) purchase email, 3) date of purchase, 4) the exact name of the pattern. If you do not provide the answers to all 4 above, you will not get a reply. If you send screen shot(s), make sure all of the info above, is there.

Yards
The yards suggested for this pattern is specifically matched according to the GAUGE AND YARN TYPE listed (with about 300 yards of overage to compensate for mistakes and tails). If your gauge is larger than what is suggested, you will need more yarn! If you plan to add a border, you’ll need more yarn.

Hook Size
I do not suggest hook sizes because gauge is so very important. Everyone crochets differently (tight or loose) so you need to use whatever size hook is necessary to reach the gauge listed.

Refunds/Exchanges
Make sure you get the pattern you want. There are no refunds or exchanges due to it being a digital item!

“Filet” Crochet
Typically, with filet crochet, you make 2 chains between the DC’s. For this technique, you make only 1.

Understanding G8, G16, G10, ect.
The “G” represents gauge. For LFC, the number after the “G” rrepresents how many DC’s are in 4”. (This includes the chains in between.) For MOCRO and MOKNIT, the number after the “G” rrepresents how many stitches are in 4”.
