GAUGE:

20 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Seed Stitch. 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 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.
