Hipster Sweater and Hat
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Baby - Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE: 16 sts + 22 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k every rnd). 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.

| First sweater I ever made. It came together quickly and looks just like the picture! I loved working in the round from the neck down.
