If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.

Stitches You Will Need
Crab Stitch (crab st / rev-sc)
In this crochet pattern you will need to use the reverse single crochet or crab stitch. It is the same steps as the regular single crochet, however worked in the opposite direction. This creates a really lovely decorative edge.
Insert hook into stitch before current stitch (working backward across the round), pull up a loop, yarn over (yo), pull through both loops.
Front Loop Single Crochet Stitch (FLSC)
Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal single crochet, however you’ll only insert the hook in the front loop of the stitch.
Back Loop Single Crochet (BLsc)
Crochet single crochet stitches in the back loop instead of the whole stitch.
