Gauge
Note: Due to the scalloped nature of the stitch pattern, row gauge can be difficult to measure. The row measurements given here were taken along the column of 3 knit stitches on the wrong side of the swatch. Matching row gauge is not critical.
Worsted: 19 sts/20 rounds = 4in/10 cm in Cascading Lace in the round, blocked
DK: 23 sts/25 rounds = 4in/10 cm in Cascading Lace in the round, blocked
Sport: 28 sts/30 rounds = 4in/10 cm in Cascading Lace in the round, blocked
Fingering: 32 sts/35 rounds = 4in/10cm in Cascading Lace in the round, blocked

Finished Measurements
Approximately 26.5” circumference/15” height from top scallop tip to bottom scallop tip, after wet blocking
