GAUGE:

4 sts + 4 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles and 1 strand A and 2 strands B held tog. 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.

Hooded Ski Vest Reviewed by Ruth Waldron on 2009-03-22
This is a great pattern and it knits up so fast! Where I live I couldn't get the Licorice colour in the boucle so I bought Wild Berries and mixed it with the Homespun black. I used the Fuschia for the trim though and, instead of sewing in a zipper (I'm useless at that sort of thing!), I cast off most of the two front borders together using the three needle technique and it worked out well. I just pull the whole garment over my head. I really like this body warmer and my only regret is that I didn't make it a little longer. If you make it, be prepared for it to look quite 'holey' and crocheted: I personally like that look! Well done, Lion Brand! Keep it up!
