Toy Chest Baby Set
Lion Brand® Fun
GAUGE: 12 hdc + 9 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Cardigan pattern;
One Afghan Square = about 15 1/2 x 15 1/2 in. (39.5 cm).
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: When working in hdc, the ch-2 turning ch does not count as a st.

| I made the sweater. Worked up in an afternoon, using almost a full skein of WW yarn. The pattern doesn't get any easier than a few squares and rectangles
