GAUGE:
13 sts and 12 rows = 4in [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.

Streamlined Sweater Jacket Reviewed by Debbie Fischer on 2012-06-26
I have been crocheting for 45 years and I would have to agree that this pattern is not written very well. A stitch count at the end of rows would be very helpful and being a little clearer on the neck edging would be nice too. It just seems that they "steamlined" the written pattern a little too much. I have been muddling through it with an occasional naughty word and hopefully will get done with this project soon.
