GAUGE:

18 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k every rnd) Fair Isle pattern worked in the round. 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.

NOTES:

1. Fair Isle charts are worked in St st in the rnd (k every rnd), carry color not in use across wrong side of work.
2. Work charts from right to left on all rnds.
3. Capelet is worked from the lower edge up to the neck.
