Gauge

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

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.

Spiral Euphoria is me misreading the plant name spiral euphor(b)ia.
I like my way - a whirling dizzy sense of joy :)
