Step: 2

Approximately 45 x 66 in. (114.5 x 167.6 cm).

Gauge:

Step: 4

10 sc +10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.
