GAUGE:

23 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in K3, p3 Rib, slightly stretched. 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.

Fitted Top Reviewed by Janice N Burford on 2009-11-01 ****
Easy pattern and looks great, though I wish I'd made it a bit longer. I had difficulty with this yarn. The filaments unravel so I was constantly spliting stitches and having to go back, which was time consuming. Otherwise, it is soft and works well for this pattern.
