GAUGE:
13 stitches + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

This sweater was my first attempt at knitting a sweater. I have many years experience of crocheting and I have knitted blankets before. This pattern was so easy to follow and really easy to adapt when I wanted more button holes.
