Draft Stopper
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 13 stitches + 20 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) before felting. 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.

| Worked beautifully! Made one the way the pattern stated, then made it bigger to fit the back door.
