GAUGE:

16 sts and 24 row = 4in[10 cm] in Stockinette St (k on RS, p on WS) with 1 strand each of A and B held together 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.

This was the 1st toy I've made. Also the 1st time I used dpn's. It really was fun to make. Only took me about 12 hours. It is adorable. I will probably lengthen the legs & shorten the arms for the next ones. I think the hardest part was getting the face right. :-)
