GAUGE:

16 stitches + 30 rows (15 ridges) = 4" (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row) using Size 8 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.

NOTES:

Pattern makes four placemats, one in each colorway.
