GAUGE:
18 sts + 24 rows = 4inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
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. The needle or hook size called for in the
pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person
to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size
hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
STITCH EXPLANATION:
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it
onto the left needle. Work this new stitch through the back loop of the stitch.
NOTES:
For ease in working, copy the 4 charts and join by taping together.
