GAUGE:
7 sts (2¼ V-sts) = 3 in. [7.5 cm] in V-st pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Downloadable Pattern: Country Car Coat Reviewed by Carol Young on 2009-04-11
I was really, really disgusted by the finished item. The picture does not show just how bulky this sweater is! I am pretty petite and it still makes me look like the side of a house. Just be aware that the yarn is very thick. I made a belt, hoping to create a waist, but I only wound up looking like a fat pickle.
