GAUGE
12 sc + 13 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 fewer 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.
Note: All rnds are worked with RS always facing. Rnds 2–34 are worked in continuous rnds, and not joined at the end of each rnd. Rnds 35-46 are joined at the end of each rnd, be sure to read the instructions carefully for each rnd.
