Light 'n' Lively Tank
Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)
GAUGE: 18 dc + 8 rows = 4 in. [10 cm]; 7 shells = 8 in. [20 cm]. 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.
