Depending on the yarn used, your needle size may vary to obtain gauge.

Tools:

Gauge:
36 sts x 36 rows = 4” x 4” (10cm x 10cm) in stranded colorwork in the round, after washing and blocking

Notes about gauge:
1. Because of the tube shape of the cowl, your fabric will stretch vertically and contract horizontally when blocking the finished project. When you block your swatch, you may want to stretch it vertically to mimic what will happen in the final blocking to achieve the proper gauge.
2. Because this is an accessory and not a fitted garment, gauge is not crucial, so if it is a bit off in your swatch, your final project will not be negatively affected.
