Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
8 sts + 16 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (knit every row). 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.
NOTES:
STRIPE PATTERN 2 rows A, 2 rows B, 2 rows C in Garter st throughout
