Lion Brand® Babysoft®

GAUGE:

16 1/2 sts + 17 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Little Boxes pattern. 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.

Baby Christening Set Reviewed by Judy Schubert on 2009-11-18 ****
Directions did not give enough detail to align the stitches correctly. Had to unhook the rows several times before they looked like the pattern.
