GAUGE:

18 sts + 38 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). 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.

Child's Sun Top Reviewed by Lynn Stagner on 2009-08-16
Granddaughter looks so sweet in her top. Added rows to the ties. Instead of the stars, added buttons on the top center a zipper pull tie with her name on it.
