Classic Cachet Pullover

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

14 sts + 20 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 less 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.

Classic Cachet Pullover Reviewed by Zosha Baldwin on 2008-10-04 *****
I have made this sweater twice, using different colors than shown and both have turned out wonderfully! One I kept for myself, the other was a gift and she loves it. It is a very warm sweater.

Thanks so much for making this pattern available!
