GAUGE:
18 sts and 24 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in
St st worked in the round (k every
round). 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:
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between
the needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop.
M1 as if to purl (make 1 st as if to purl) An increase worked by lifting
