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.

Holiday Leaves Reviewed by Sarah Gray on 2009-03-18
This was a really fun project. Once i got the hang of the pattern, the leaves were really easy to whip out. Unfortunately, i didn't make enough leaves for the size of wreath i purchased for the project, so mine didn't turn out as fluffy as the photo. I will definitely try it again, maybe using some other seasonal colors!
UPDATE: i changed the colors and added a turkey to make it more thanksgiving-ey. It turned out pretty good!!
