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.

Drop Stitch Capelet Reviewed by Laura Thomas on 2011-03-30
Contray to the first comment about pattern, I did not have enough of the wool to make the neck piece as long as directed. I do like the pattern and since there is enough of the fun fir, I would buy more of the wool and make the body of the piece somewhat longer.
