Lion Brand^® Romance^® (old)

GAUGE:

6.5 sts + 6.8 rows = 4" [10 cm] in St st (k on RS rows, p on WS). 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.
