GAUGE:

1 Octagon = 6 1/4 in. (16 cm) 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.

Park Slope Afghan Reviewed by Candace Yoshioka on 2012-11-21 ****
Loved making this blanket! Made it for my nephew at his request for a blanket for his first year at college. He loved it so much he even took it camping and it withstood all the elements and came back smelling like campfire. :) I would definitely do it again. My only reason for a four star rating as opposed to a five star rating is it's VERY time consuming. At least I thought it was.
