Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Chunky
GAUGE: 14 sts + 18 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger

| Hand-Knit Danbury Hooded Sweater Jacket Reviewed by PJ Space on 2008-09-18 |
 |
| I loved the look of the sweater but found, even though I knit to gauge, the sweater was considerably larger than I wanted. Very bulky, but very warm. I would probably knock it down 2 sizes if I were do do it again. I had no problem with curling.
