GAUGE:
13 hdc = 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.
NOTES:
1. Sweater body is crocheted vertically in one piece, from right front side edge to right back side edge. Sleeves are picked up around armhole and worked down towards wrist.
2. Work all stitches through back loop only of stitches of previous row.

Sweater is very easy to make and very attractive to wear. I've made three already for my daughter - it is her 'go to' favorite.
