Knit Coastal Stripe Pullover
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: 20 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.

| Knit Coastal Stripe Pullover Reviewed by Marcia McCormack on 2008-12-29 |

| The project was easy and I'm pleased with the results, however I had to use a #4 needle to achieve the gauge. I'm used to going one or two needle sizes smaller, since I'm a tight knitter, but I don't think I've ever had to go down three needle sizes. Also, I made the 18 month size for my grandson and the completed project was the right measurement, however it looks so large! I'm hoping for the best once we try it on.
