Lion Brand® Pound of Love - Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: 16 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on larger needle. 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION: STITCH PATTERN 2-color Seed St (worked on an odd number of sts): Row 1 (RS) With MC, *k 1, p 1; repeat from * to last st, end k 1. Row 2 (WS) With CC, *k 1, p 1; repeat from * to last st, end k 1. Next Row Slide work to other end of needle (WS row faces; MC yarn end is ready to be used on next row).
