Lion Brand® Festive Fur - Fun Fetti
GAUGE: 13 sts + 28 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every
row) with MC on smaller 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.
NOTES: Measure gauge with piece unstretched.

| Bolero Reviewed by Ms. E. Barnes on 2010-11-13 |

| This is a great pattern. I made it right after it came out for a Christmas party. People couldn't believe I made it. I used regular white worsted yarn and festive fur for the neckline. It was fun using the 'fur', too.
