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.

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.
