Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket
Lion Brand® Homespun®
GAUGE:
10 sc and 11 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. 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.

did not actually come out square. But considering I made it for my daughter's baby doll, it'll be OK
