Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

14 sts + 20 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

K1, p1 Rib
Row 1 (RS):
K1, p1 across.
Row 2: K the knit sts and p the purl sts.
Rep Row 2 for K1, p1 Rib.

Seed Stitch (over an even number of sts)
Row 1 (RS):
*K1, p1; rep from * across.

NOTES:

1) Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.

Library Capelet Reviewed by Mary Wooten on 2010-01-30 ****
I knitted one for myself and one for a friend. I wear mine all the time and she says she loves hers and get compliments every time she wears it.

It really doesn't look like the picture, but I am happy with mine.
