GAUGE:
9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:

into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog.

Country Jacket Reviewed by Judith R. Powers on 2008-09-20
I made this jacket in a very short time using Claret Thick and Quick - it turned out to be beautiful. I am little more than a beginner, so I left off the inset pocket because I just wasn't getting it right and made patch pockets for it when I was all finished. This was my first project using this yarn and I love it. It goes so fast and looks very rich. The pattern does run a little large. When I make again I will go down a size.
