Marmalade Kimono
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Baby
GAUGE:
9 sts + 13 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS) with 1 strand each of A and B held together. 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.
NOTES:
1. Kimono is worked with 2 strands held together.
2. Kimono is worked in one piece beginning at lower edge of Back, working over the shoulders and ending at lower edge of Fronts.
