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.

Even though I had only one skein of a rare yarn and had to modify this in order to finish, it came out beautifully! Thanks! Will post a photo when I get one.
