GAUGE:

26 sts = 4 in [10 cm]on size 5 needles in pat st. 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 less 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.

Baby 'Corn' Bunting Reviewed by Sarah Greiner on 2008-05-01 *****
I made this cute corn bunting a few years ago for a co-worker. It turned out well. The yellow part was fun to knit. I will probably make it again.
