GAUGE:
2 V-sts + 3 1/2 rows = 5 in. (12.5 cm) in pattern. 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.

5 1/2 Hour Throw Reviewed by melva quaile on 2009-12-19
I made this throw for my secret Santa person for Christmas. She loved it. It was quick and easy, especially using the big Q hook. This is a pattern I will use again.
