GAUGE:
16 sts + 32 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Garter st (k every row). 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 love this pattern. It is a relatively quick knit and it fits great! Given that I'm not a huge fan of knitting stripes I improvise and follow the pattern using a variegated yarn to give it the multicolor and striped appearance then use a coordinating solid color for the trim.
