GAUGE:
7 sts + 9 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Rev St st (p on RS, k on WS) with larger needles and 2 strands of A and 1 strand of B held tog. 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.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
