GAUGE:

14 sts + 18 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with one strand each MC and CC held tog on larger needles.
18 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st with one strand CC 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 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.
