GAUGE:
18 sts + 25 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS); 20 sts + 25 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in K2, p2 Rib, unstretched.
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:
yo (yarn over) An increase that also creates a small hole (in this design the hole is used as a buttonhole) in the fabric, worked as follows: 1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles. 2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed.
