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.
