24 stitches and 38 rows = 4” / 10 cm in 2x2 ribbing with C1 Yarn held double using Size C needles, after blocking

Note: The use of a smaller needle for the ribbing fabric is intentional to create a denser fabric. We suggest testing needle size for both ribbing and stockinette stitch gauge.

3.75 mm / US 5 or size needed to obtain gauge listed
