20 sts + 28 rows = 4 in. (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 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.
