GAUGE:

10 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with MC When you match the 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.
