Retro Striped Pullover
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 7 repeats in Open Pattern (2 dc, ch 2) = 6 in. [15 cm].
8 rows = 4 in. [10 cm]. 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.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in each sc, ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Ch 3, * 2 dc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, sk 2 dc, rep from * across, ending with dc in top of ch-3 turning ch, turn. Repeat Row 2 for Open Pattern.
