GAUGE:

17 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.

Theodora Sweater Reviewed by deven brown on 2009-11-09 *****
Turned out beautifully! I made the garter edge 5 stitches instead of 3, which looks nicer with the buttons.
