Strawberry Patch Cardigan

Lion Brand^® Wool-Ease^®

GAUGE:

18 sts and 24 rows to 4" in stockinette stitch using size 7 needles. 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.
