GAUGE:
13 sc = 4 inches [10 cm] with A before felting. 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
Sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook
into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
TOP With A, ch 27 (35). Rnd 1 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in 24 (32) ch, 3 sc in last ch;
working along opposite side of foundation ch, work 24 (32) sc, place marker in
first st (always move marker to first st of each rnd) – 54 (70) sc.
Rnd 2 [2 sc in next sc] 3 times, sc in 24 (32) sc, place 2nd marker in next
st, [2 sc in next sc] 3 times, sc in 24 (32) sc – 60 (76) sc.
Rnd 3 [(2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) 3 times, sc to marker] twice – 66
(82) sc.
Rnd 4 [(2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc) 3 times, sc to marker] twice –

until there are 22 (30) sc after each 2sc-group – 192 (256) sc. Add 1 strand
of B to A and work with 2 strands held together. Work 4 rnds even in sc. Remove
