GAUGE:

7 sts + 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in k2, p2 Rib with larger needles and 2 strands of A held tog.
20 sts + 26 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in k2, p2 Rib with smaller needles and 1 strand of B. 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.
