GAUGE:
12 sts + 26 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

I'm making this now and am having the exact same issues with the gauge. I'm not a novice knitter, but this has been frustrating. I'm ignoring the pattern and focusing on the dimensions now, and it will be cute. I'm thinking of adding little bear ears to the hood.
