You size a pattern by crocheting a sample square using the recommended hook and yarn. The pattern will provide the dimensions for you. Compare the squares, if sample is larger or smaller than the pattern specifies, you can adjust hook size, yarn or tension to more closely match. It is always a good idea to do a sample square before starting a pattern. This way you can control the size of the final product and ensure there is enough yarn to finish the project.
