GAUGE:

10 hdc + 8 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) 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:

hdc2tog (hdc dec) Yarn over, insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw though all 5 loops on hook.

Jaunty Jacket Reviewed by jane kiniry on 2009-09-23 *****
I made this jacket for my daughter. It was the 1st time that I attempted to make a jacket & I was a frightened by the prospect. It turned out perfectly. & fit her to a T which was quite an accomplishment since she lives 3000 miles away from me in Ca. It was the perfect "welcome back to visit" gift. I could not be happier & more proud of this beautiful sweater
I made it in the Edwardian Homespun yarn finished off with an antique button.
