Granny Square Afghan

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

Each small square: 6½ inches x 6½ inches (16.5 cm); each large square: 13 inches x 13 inches (33 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 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.
