GAUGE:
20 sc + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match
the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the
materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and
rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more
stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
