GAUGE:

10 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in St st (k every rnd). 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.

Ponchette / Capelet Reviewed by Sue Ether on 2008-06-27
I've made a dozen or more of these and all recipients have loved them. One does need to pay attention to the bind off and do it loosely, as stated. They are also great in Lion Brand Color Waves.
