Unisex Vest
Lion Brand® Lion® Cotton
GAUGE: 17.5 sts and 24 rows = 4" (10 cm) on Size 7 (4.5 mm) needles in pattern st. 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 just finished this pattern I got allot of praise for it. I like wearing it, its cool in the summer and it keeps me warm in those heavily air-conditioned buildings. I think its pretty cool. I would really recommend this pattern.
