And now we’re helping out over in Zimbabwe too and they need everything over there. I just love making a real difference in a child’s life. So welcome aboard!
Hi Renata, just saw your message on the chat line. The best way to make an 8" square is to make a 8 x 8 cardboard template. The gauge will depend upon the size of needle and the yarn used. Every country is different in the yarn weight so unfortunately I'm not much help in that department as I'm from Canada. But if you are close to 8" that is fine. The women in South Africa sort the squares and are fantastic about fitting in squares that are 7 1/2" to 8 1/2".
Hope this helps. If you have any questions please ask !
