GAUGE: 16 sts and 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in with size 9 (5.5 mm) needles over St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop.
kfb (inc 1 st) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Sl next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog.
sk2p Slip 1 st to right needle, k2tog, pass sl st over 2 sts decreased.
sk3p Slip 1 st to right needle, k3tog, pass sl st over 3 sts decreased.
