Gauge is
allowed to vary for this project so no testing is required.
(Gauge:
A measurement that describes the resulting size of a piece of your work
in length and height. The gauge you get can vary depending on the yarn
used, the tool size used and the tension (tightness/loosness) of your stitches.
Most yarns and patterns have information on the "gauge" that should result
for the correct finished size of your project.)
