In Spiral pattern - worked in round 

20 sts 26 rounds = 4” (10 cm) Square

Unblocked Stockinette - worked flat 

22.5 sts by 30 rows = 4” (10 cm)

This gauge provided for yarn and needle pairing, to get an appropriate fabric density without knitting the entire pattern from CO.

Notes and Tips

Repeat multiple = 4 sts

A firm fabric with snug stitching 

will maximize, and better retain, dimension.
