GAUGE:
9 sts + 13 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st (k on RS, 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.

Super easy. My first knitting project. My only issue is the natural rolling hems that come with stockinette stitch. Some blocking might help. But really darling and pleased with the results for a beginning knitter!
