Lion Brand® Festive Fur - Fun Fetti

GAUGE:

13 sts + 28 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every row) with MC on smaller needles. 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.

NOTES:

Measure gauge with piece unstretched.
