Tweedy Wedges Afghan

Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

Rows 1–7 = 2 1/2 x 3 in. (6.5 x 7.5 cm) wide at top of wedge. 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.
