GAUGE:

5 V-Sts and 7 rows = 5½ [14 cm]
Gauge Swatch: 6"w x 5½" h [5.25 cm x 14 cm] 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.
