GAUGE:

10 sts = about 4 in. [10 cm] in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd) with 1 strand each of A and B held tog). 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.
