Lion Brand^® Homespun^® - Incredible^®

GAUGE:

9 dc + 5 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] with Homespun on smaller hook.
9 dc + 5.5 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] with Incredible 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.
