GAUGE:

10 sts = 3 inches (7.5 cm) in single crochet. 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.

This makes the cutest stocking! I've made 2 so far. Used a brushed-type yarn in Christmas pastels and it turned out beautifully. Lots of compliments!
