GAUGE:

5 sc = 2 inches; 8 rows = 3 inches.

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern andthe materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in thepattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from personto person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller sizehook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
