GAUGE:
16 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row) with 3 strands of A held together.
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.

I made this out of Black and White. It is easy and beautiful. The ladies at the dance almost took it off of me because they wanted one. I have worn it over a black suit as well as an evening wrap. I am looking for another easy pattern to make during evening movies. Any suggestions?????????? I have lots of this yarn.
