GAUGE:

6.5 sc + 8 rows = 4" [10 cm] with MC on larger hook.
6.5 sts + 4 rows = 4" [10 cm] in Body pattern with MC on larger hook.

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:

V-stitch (dc, ch 1, dc) in same st or ch-space
