GAUGE:
15 sts + 22 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) over K2, p2 Rib.
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 fewer 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left
needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased.
Yo (yarn over) an increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric,
worked as follows:
1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles.
2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to
proceed with the next st as instructed.

placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
