MEASUREMENTS

120 Stitch (Multi and White) Sample

6.5” (16.5 cm) Across at Wiggles by 6.5” (16.5 cm) Tall 

8.75” (22.2 cm) Diameter, while in a flattened circle.

Excluding Diameter, measurements are taken flat with the item relaxed.

The depth of the folds, wiggles and the negative ease make exact measurements difficult.

GAUGE

Gauge is not critical, but will affect size and yarn requirements.

Unblocked Stockinette Stitch 

20 stitches by 32 Rounds = 4” (10 cm) Square

This gauge provided for yarn and needle pairing and 

for usage considerations. It is difficult to get an accurate gauge in-pattern due to the depth of texture.

Fabric to your liking is more important than exact gauge.
