GAUGE:
11 dc = 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.

Anna Ripple Afghan Reviewed by Shameela Um-Shakoora on 2009-03-10
I made this afghan for my 12 yr. old daughter. It was so much fun. I used my own choice of colors and I was so pleased with the outcome that I'm anxious to start on another one.
