GAUGE:

5 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) in pattern 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 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.

Fringe (optional)

Wind yarn around 9" piece cardboard and cut strands at one end (18" pieces). Holding 5 strands at a time, fold in half; insert crochet hook or fingers from back to front and pull middle through to back of afghan or throw. Pull ends through loop and adjust knot. Repeat at base of first and last rows on Afghan or Throw. Trim. Note Fringe will use 115 (105) yds. of yarn. If less yarn remains, use 4 strands for fringe to make fringe slightly less full.
