GAUGE:

10 sts = 4 inches [10 cm]; 8 rows = 5 inches [13 cm] in pattern. 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.

Openwork Afghan Reviewed by katherine Arthur on 2012-02-04 *****
I made this exactly as shown and I love it! It has been 5 or 6 years now and it has stood up well to repeated washings. Easy to make and this yarn is a little tricky at first but well worth the effort.
