Granny Throw
Lion Brand® Tweed Stripes®
GAUGE: One Square = 12 x12 in. (30.5 x 30.5 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.

| Very simple, makes a very nice blanket. However I do agree it turns out smaller than it appears. Perfect as a lap blanket! My grandmother loved it :-)
