GAUGE:

14 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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.

K1, p1 Rib Row 1 (RS): K1, p1 across. Row 2: K the knit sts and p the purl sts. Rep Row 2 for K1, p1 Rib. Seed Stitch (over an even number of sts) Row 1 (RS): *K1, p1; rep from * across. Row 2: P the knit sts and k the purl sts. Rep Row 2 for Seed st.
