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.
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.

sc2tog (sc dec) (Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop) twice. Yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

NOTES:
Do not join rnds. Place a marker for beginning or rnd and move marker as each rnd is completed.
