GAUGE:
15 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with size 8 (5 mm) needles and A. 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.

Quick easy pattern. Simple to size differently too. I wanted to fit a 3-6 mth old so I reduced to a 40 stitch cast on then followed the decrease as the pattern was written. You will have to reduce the eyes and nose as well to fit the face. Only took me a couple of hours start to finish.
