GAUGE:

16 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) using larger needles.

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.

Family of Mittens Reviewed by Patricia Wyman on 2009-01-17 *
yarn splits and comes apart while knitting. I have made a sweater and mittens and do not like working with it.
