Zip-Back Hoody
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: 20 sts + 11 rows = 6 in. [15.25 cm] in pattern. 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: | Cluster (Yarn over, insert hook in same st and draw up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times, yarn over, draw through all 4 loops on hook. |

| Zip-Back Hoody Reviewed by Kate Taggart on 2010-08-02 |

| I am not a novice at crocheting and found that the pattern did not work up properly for the larger size unless I tweaked it. After ripping it out about 5 times, i finally added in an extra stitch, usually after the increase on the non-cluster row. Otherwise it was a nice pattern and looks good in the yarn i chose for my niece. i think some reviewing of the larger size pattern instructions is called for.
