GAUGE:
16 sts + 23 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over Seed st. 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.

I made a few of the Barbara Scarf with matching hats to give as gifts. They turned out great and now I am going to make a few more to give as Xmas gifts in 2013.
