My gauge was 21st over 4 inches (5.25 st/in). Pattern called for 6 st/in. However, the gauge swatch was done in pattern and blocked and I wasn't about to spend more yarn on a second swatch. So I just took the pillow size (18 x 16) and gauge and calculated the cast on as 116 stitches.
This picture is immediately after blocking and the size is perfect! I have never wet-blocked before, but it is obvious why wet-blocking is the preferred method over steam-blocking.
Now on to the second pillow! Then, to employing my sister to turn them into cushions...
