GAUGE:
10 sts = 3 1/4 in. [9 cm], 13 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in K2, P2 Rib with A. 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.

NOTES:
Hat is knitted in one piece, then seamed at back.
