GAUGE:

Rnds 1 and 2 = 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter. 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.

COLOR SEQUENCE
Work 5 rnds of each color: A, B, C, D, for a total of 40 rnds.

Stratford Circle Afghan Reviewed by Stefanie on 2013-02-10 ****
I just started this afghan and I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person. However, Round 6 says "continue in pattern established". That could mean either Round 5, OR rounds 2 thru 5. So, upon the advice of another reviewer on here, I looked up the Kew Gardens Afghan. Much clearer instructions!!! Thank you for your advice!! This is going to be a wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law! Now I will have to make one for my other two sons-in-law as well!!
