13 sts and 12 rows = 4in [10 cm]. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Streamlined Sweater Jacket Reviewed by Lorraine Burke on 2009-10-26
This came out awesome. Should you decide to make this, you will not be sorry. This is a gift for my sister and what I did was crochet a belt that can be used as a scarf if you wanted to. Reason for the belt was that you can adjust the size when you lose weight by adding the belt. I love it so much I will make one for myself. I made this in Colonial Blue Homespun. No matter what color is chosen, it will look fantastic once completed.
