Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (original)
GAUGE: Each motif measures 3 (3¼, 3½, 3&frac24;) inches square with size F (G, H, I) 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.
