Vertical Stripes Baby Sweater

Lion Brand^® LB Collection^® Superwash Merino

GAUGE:

22 sts + 44 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (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.

Vertical Stripes Baby Sweater Reviewed by Sharyne Doughty on 2009-10-03
I love this pattern. So quick & easy & fun to make. Easy to re-size for a larger child (as I did). I added a little collar as requested by my 5 year old!
