Custom Classic Pullover

Lion Brand® Lion® Cashmere Blend

GAUGE:

20 sts + 28 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in 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.

Custom Classic Pullover Reviewed by valerie wendell on 2009-08-20 ****
This is a really nice pattern. I had trouble with the sleeves, I never did make it to 90 stitches before reaching 17 inches, I made it to 86 stitches and 18 inches in length before decreasing for the sleeve cap. I have never worked a "V" neckline with a circular needle before and it was not as daunting as I thought. I shall now send it to my Dad in England.. I hope he likes it.
