GAUGE:
12 sts + 19 rows = 4 inch [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with MC. 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.

needle to RS inside of C chain at lower point, then inserting needle to WS
inside of C chain at upper point. Make a horizontal stitch by bringing needle to
RS outside of C chain at left point, then inserting needle to WS outside of C
chain at right point. This forms a cross in center of motif. Work one chain
stitch over center of cross by bringing needle up on lower right side of cross,
then inserting needle at same point, leaving a loop on top of cross. Bring
needle up on upper left side of cross, through loop, then insert needle down
into fabric on other side of loop to secure loop.
