GAUGE: Rnds 1-5 of square = 7 in. (18 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.
NOTES: COLOR SEQUENCE
Work (1 rnd each of A, B, C, D, A, C, B, A, D, B, C).
To keep Afghan square, join new color in a different corner on each round.
