Triangle Cardigan

Lion Brand® Superwash Merino Cashmere

GAUGE:

17 sts + 36 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garterst(k every row). 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.

Triangle Cardigan Reviewed by Lizzy on 2011-11-27 ****
Fun construction! But turned out huge. I followed the gauge but this would fit a one-year old, not an infant.
