Star Baby Sweater
Lion Brand® Martha Stewart CraftsTM/MC Merino
GAUGE: 18 sts + 26 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop - 1 st increased.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased. |
NOTES: 1. Sweater is made in 5 pieces, Back, Front, 2 Sleeves, and Pocket.
2. Star is worked in duplicate st onto Pocket.
3. When you see ‘work even’ in the instructions, this means to continue in the pattern st you have established without changing the st count by increasing, decreasing, or binding off.
