Knit Tiles Throw
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: Each Square measures 8 inches to 8½ inches. 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.

| Works up quickly. Exquisite in black and teal green, and I put it together with a strand each of black 4 ply and black eyelash yarn. Quite pretty.
