Knit Dress

Lion Brand® Lion® Cashmere Blend

GAUGE:

16 sts + 22 rows = 4” [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on larger needle. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

ssk (slip, slip, knit) Sl next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog.
M1 (make 1 st) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Knit this new st through the back loop.
