GAUGE:
Each piece measures 7 inches x 9 inches (18 x 23 cm). 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.

I made this for my son and his wife as a Christmas present. I love the softness and colors of the Homespun yarn. The pattern is very easy and looks beautiful. My only disappointment is that I feel it needs some kind of edging. It seems almost unfinished.
