Lion Brand® Martha Stewart CraftsTM/MC Extra Soft Wool Blend
GAUGE:
18 sts + 25 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with A and straight 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.
