Pro Tips for Best Results

• Always make a gauge swatch first (16 sc × 18 rows = 4×4 inches) to ensure your sizing is spot-on.
• Check that your gray border foundation round lies flat without pulling or rippling the edges.
• Customize your finished length anywhere from 24 to 32 inches to achieve your ideal snug fit.
