GAUGE:

15 single crochet = 4 in. [10 cm] 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.

I made this for two of my niece's (1 purple, 1 pink). They love playing dress-up and this is a fun addition to the dress-up box.
