GAUGE:

24 sts + 11 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. 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.

NOTES:

1. Top is worked in one piece from lower Back edge up to shoulder. The piece is then divided and the Right Front worked. The Left Front is then worked directly onto the completed piece.
2. Edging is worked around the entire outside edge of Top. The Edging will add width and length to the Fronts and Back.
3. After the Edging is worked, Sleeves are worked directly onto the Top.

Flutter Baby Top Reviewed by Amanda Zink on 2010-02-22
For a change, a well written Lion Brand Pattern! Works up fast, and the stitch is very logical. Love it! I finished this for my daughter in just a few nights. Ignore the experienced tag-- this is an intermediate pattern.
