Patchwork Sampler Throw
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
1 Square = about 9 x 9 in. (23 x 23 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.

Patchwork Sampler Throw Reviewed by Naz Keynejad on 2012-05-27
I had to change the needle size and the total number of rows on 4 out of 5 patterns to make sure the squares were the same size. So, just a word of caution: CHECK YOUR GAUGE! It's a beautiful throw though :-)
