GAUGE:
12 stitches = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch (knit every row). 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.
NOTES:
Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends,
knit or
crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

Easy to follow, but the yarn is not for beginners. Homespun yarn is thick, and splits easily (at least for me), and I kept picking up extra stitches because of this frustrating fact. For a first project, I'd recommend working with a yarn like cotton, which splits less and makes the stitches easier to see.
