Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

12 sts + 16 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over St st (k on RS, p on WS).

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.

Child's Striped Yoke Pullover Reviewed by Karen Murphy on 2009-11-18
I have made five of these sweaters and unlike all the other reviews, I did have a problem. The knititng of the sweater itself was a breeze, the lone problem lay in the neck. Not one of the five recipients were able to get the sweater over their heads. I enlarged them as much as I possibly could, it still did not fit. Any helpful suggestions would be really appreciated. My thought is to remove the neck altogher and make it a boat neck...any thoughts???
