GAUGE:

4 Sts and 3 rows = 3 in with yarn doubled in pat st 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 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.

Four and a half Hour Afghan Reviewed by Dawn Sullivan on 2008-03-21
I HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS AFGHAN FOR YEARS AFTER FINDING IN A LIONBRAND CATALOG MANY MOONS AGO. I SWITCHED TO A P HOOK FOR A TIGHTER STITCH. I HAVE CHANGED THE SIZE TO BE CHAIN 44 FOR A BABY AFGHAN AND 74 FOR A WONDERFUL COUCH AFGHAN. I HAVE MADE THIS WITH THE GOTHIC COLORED HOMESPUN AND A WHITE BORDER FOR AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY - RELAY FOR LIFE. ACS - RELAY FOR LIFE OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO GIVES IT TO THE BEST FUNDRAISER. 2007 TOP FUND RAISER RAISED FOR AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY - RELAY FOR LIFE OVER $3,200.00. BRING A SMILE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE WITH THIS WONDERFUL PATTERN!
