Naturally Classic Vest
Lion Brand® Lion® Organic Cotton
GAUGE: 20 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st. (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles.
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.

| Naturally Classic Vest Reviewed by Jane on 2009-07-31 |
 |
| This was my first adventure in knitting an article of clothing. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but as you can see it looks great and he is very proud of it. I made it in the cotton ease and added another stripe; it seemed to need more color. I did measure him just to be sure. I washed it and tumble dried it and the vest looks great. The picking up stitches around the neck and armholes was not difficult. Great little vest pattern.
