Re "GAUGE": please note the paragraph on GAUGE on the first page of the pattern. It is 22 stitches and 30 rows to a 4” square.
This means that you should first knit a sample square that measures 4” across and 4” high, using stockinette stitch (knit one row, then purl the next, and repeat) and Size 5 (US) needles. Then measure the number of stitches across in those 4 inches and the number of rows high in that 4”. It should be 22 stitches across and 30 stitches high. You may have to go up or down a needle size depending on how tightly or loosely you knit. If you have more stitches than that, then switch to larger needles. If you have fewer stitches, then switch to smaller needles. This will ensure that your finished squares come as close as possible to 6-3/4” x 6-3/4”.
We saw the differences in individual gauge demonstrated in real life at the January knitting circle. This will be important when we try to stitch all the squares together!
A note: We saw at Frances's that despite our best efforts at "getting gauge", the squares do differ in size and number of stitches. Don't worry -- just do your best to reach the intended size of 6-3/4" square. We'll obviously have to do some "easing" when it's time to join the squares.
