17 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).

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.

Theodora Sweater Reviewed by June Kissi on 2012-08-18
This pattern was very easy to follow. I have been knitting for around 3 years now...and I am self taught. I changed the colors at the request of the recipient...but it turned out gorgeous!
