GAUGE:
10 sts + 14 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette 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.

Child's Bunny Motif Pullover Reviewed by Adrienne Schneider on 2008-07-06
The sweater is adorable and easy to make, but the "bunny motif" leaves alot to be desired.
Somehow it looks like a rat and not a bunny.
