GAUGE:

17 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). 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.

Charlie's Cardi Reviewed by Delia on 2010-01-03
This pattern was really easy to follow. It was the first sweater I made and it came out really good. I added some embroidered trees to the front to match the buttons I found.
