GAUGE: 4.5 sts and 8 rows = 1 inch in Stripe Pat. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

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.

| Cape Cod Unisex Pullover Sweater Reviewed by Rebecca Engel on 2009-10-26 |
 |
| This was the first adult-sized sweater I ever knit. It worked up quite easily, my husband liked it, and for the most part it looked nice on him. I give it only 4 stars for two reasons: although I was working to gauge, it was much larger and longer than it should have been and I ended up having to rip out and reknit the back, and also adjust the front and sleeve lengths. Also the neckline is overlarge and would look better if it were higher and smaller. Since my husband managed to get a stain on his that won't come out, I may have a chance to make another and will know to make it smaller, shorter, and try a better neckline.
