GAUGE:

22 sts = 4 in. [10 cm] in K2, p2 Rib, slightly stretched. 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 less 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 is a great little shell and the first piece I did when I left the world of the perpetual scarf. It's a great shell that goes with everything. Make a few!
