GAUGE:

15 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row) with 1 strand of A and B held tog. 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.

Easy Peasy Sweater Set Reviewed by Karen on 2009-07-07
easy to knit up if you can increase and decrease. doesnt look as nice as I had hoped. More rag-a-muffin than casual. I used the 3 colors/yarns in the picture and added daisy buttons to the front. My daughter loves it for my granddaughter but I am going to start the Eloise eyelet now.
