GAUGE:

16 half double crochet + 12 1/2 rows = 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.

Short And Sweet Child's Cardigan Reviewed by Katharina Mills on 2008-11-18 *****
This is the best fitting cardigan I have ever made. When I tried it on my daughter, I was surprised how well it sat on her and how wonderful it looked. I will stick with this pattern whenever I have a need for another little cardigan. Choose this pattern over any other one out there.
