GAUGE:

17 stitches + 25 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) with US #8 (5mm) needles 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.

Note: The edges of the afghan will be curling under at this stage. Don't worry -- this is normal behavior for stockinette stitch; it will stop when the lace edging is attached.
