GAUGE:

16 sc + 12 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 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.

Baby Topper Reviewed by Cate on 2009-08-18 *****
I made this over one week while on vacation. My granddaughter looks sooo cute in it and my daughter in law loves the "European" flavor! Very easy.
