GAUGE

Version 1: 20 sts/30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Version 2: 26 sts/33 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Gauge is not critical for this project; a tighter or looser gauge will yield a smaller or larger scarf.



Description from Knitty.com: Never mind hip knitting; to me it's all about being square. Square as in modular knitting. Square as in entrelac. The blockier the better, I say. So it only made sense when I decided to design a scarf that it should have angular characteristics. Though this scarf isn't of the modular persuasion, it's close enough.
