GAUGE:
16 sts + 22 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over St st (k on RS, p on WS).
19 sts + 25 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over Pattern St 1. 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.
