GAUGE:

11 sts and 5 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in pattern. 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.

Crochet Cardigan Reviewed by Barb Reed on 2008-10-28
This is a ZERO STAR rating from me. Measurements are inaccurate. The width of the sleeves are not proportionate to the sizes offered. I made this for myself and am unable to wear it. I am a plus size woman and even went up a size when making this pattern. A VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I will think twice about using your patterns in the future.
