Any chenille yarn that works to the gauge given can also be used. A Word About Gauge A correct stitch gauge is very important. Please take the time to work a stitch gauge swatch about 4" x 4". Measure the swatch. If the number of stitches and rows are fewer than indicated under “Gauge” in the pattern, your hook or needle is too large. Try another swatch with a smaller size hook or needle. If the number of stitches and rows are more than indicated under "Gauge" in the pattern, your hook or needle is too small. Try another swatch with a larger size hook or needle.—_ _ Metric Conversion Charts © INCHES INTO MILLIMETERS & CENTIMETERS (Rounded off slightly) Tnches_mm em | Inches em | inches em | inches _ em % 3 5 ws | 2 635 | 38 965 wens A NSS fa Pe 104 6 1 | 23 ses | 40 1015 wots taf ore we | acer | at ton % 15 15 | 8 205 | 25 35 | 42 1065 Mm 2 Pi 23 [ote ep | aa mm 2 22 | 10 255 | 27 cas | a 112 cA | i || 2 SS 1m 2 32 | 2 5 | 29 735 | 46 117 wavs ap fois oes | onze. | artes wm 445 | ass | 179 | ae tz REED 8 PN B00 Ae [OPS 2m 65 65 | 1 405 | 29 o | 50 127 aE aS aE es =| se ere az 0 9 | 1% 4 | 95 09 4 10 «10 fae aes | 26 ots ams 15 | 2% 1 | 37 94 ‘mm milimeter cm - centimeter KNITTING NEEDLES CONVERSION CHART us. oft] 2,3] 4] s| 6]7 |e] 9] w]wn i] 13/15 Metricmm)| 2 | 2%| 2%| 3%] 3%] 3%] 4%] av | 5 | 5% | 5%] 6%] 8 | 9 | 10 CROCHET HOOKS CONVERSION CHART us. ve [2c [30 | 4 | SF [eG [an | on [rou [rovmn] N Continentatmm [225]275 [328| 25 |a75|425[ 5 [55] 6 | 65 | 90—_— ‘knit = i a Ruby Princess Sacque, Bonnet, and Booties designed by Rita Weiss Newborn to 3 months Mater Sport weight chenille, 6 oz (440 yds, 125 ) red; 107 (88 yds, 25 g) white Size 3 (3'amm), 14” straight knitting needles, or size required for gauge Size 4 (3mm), 14” straight knitting needles Four stitch markers (for sacque) Four 4!" stitch holders (for sacque) 11yds white satin ribbon, '/"-wide Gauge With smaller size needles in stockinette st: Ssts=1" K1;# YO, K3, YO, K1; rep from # across.
