GAUGE:
14 sts + 15 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with one strand each Fun Fur and Wool-Ease Sportweight held together. 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:

Luxe Faux Zebra Jacket Reviewed by NANCY BROOKS on 2008-12-17
Of all the things I have made, I think I love this one the most, because it is so unique. People always ask me where I found it and even strangers have told me they couldn't help asking me where I got it. I did think it was difficult, but I am a stickler about following the graph and thinking back I probably wouldn't have needed to tear out rows to change a stitch that I used the wrong color, it never would have shown anyway. I love jackets, you can change a whole look with a change of a jacket. This is a WOW jacket! Nancy
