GAUGE:
12 half double crochet + 9 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.

Simple Baby Set Reviewed by Florence Finnegan on 2013-02-22
Easy and really cute! Because the size is given in inches, and all parts are simple rectangles, it's easy to determine size even without doing a swatch. I did the complete set for a great grand baby, using blue yarn accented with a blue,brown,white combo yarn. I also turned back the top corners to the outside.
