Seed Stitch Cardigan
Lion BrandŽ Cotton-Ease® (new)
GAUGE: 17 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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.

| Seed Stitch Cardigan Reviewed by Sabrina on 2009-04-01 |

| Great sweater! My 2 yr old loves it. It was easy and I feel great that I made this for her. This was my first "sized" project and it turned out nice.
