Lion Brand® Lion® Cashmere Blend

GAUGE:

16 stitches across and 32 rows down should measure 4 in. [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row). 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.

Glamour-Baby's First Cardigan Reviewed by Deb Meacham on 2009-09-16 *****
This is the first time I have ever knit anything. The pattern was easy to follow and general knitting instructions from various websites were instrumental. It took me a while to finish and the hardest part for me was sewing the seams to look smooth. Not sure what size baby it will fit - mine is not due for another month so I will wait to see. Overall, I'm extremely pleased as it's a cute sweater and was a great first project.
