GAUGE:

4.5 sts and 8 rows = 1 inch in Stripe Pat. 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.

I knit this sweater for my husband recently and he really likes it! It was fun to make and went fast. I'm making another one in the brown Fishermen's Wool.
