Gauge:

Step: 4

17 sts + 24 rows=4 in. [10cm] in Stockinette st worked in the round (knit all rnds). 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.
