    1. Since this is a variation of the DROPs pattern, I used their gauge:
      US 10 - or size needed for 13 sts x 26 rows in garter = 10 x 10 cm / 4'' x 4''.

  2. Hello

    I'm reading from the UK and am unsure what the instruction 'turn' means.
    Can you explain?

    Thank you

    1. No problem! "Turn" means that you actually turn your work around as if you completed knitting the row, even if there are still stitches remaining, then begin the next row.
