Note: Pattern gauge for each yarn-weight is listed below, along with estimated needle size. However, depending on your chosen yarn, you may need to adjust needle size in order to obtain the correct gauge for that particular yarn-weight category. Also, row gauge is not listed because it is not critical in this pattern.
