GAUGE:

14 sc = 4 in. (10 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 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.
