Gauge Information: To ensure that your finished product meets the desired specifications, aim for a gauge on 2.25 mm / US1 needles of 38 stitches and 52 rounds equalling 10x10 cm / 4x4” in stockinette stitch. For the striped lace pattern, you'll want to achieve 36 stitches and 54 rounds in the same measurement.
