GAUGE:

8 sts + 16 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in garter st (k every row). 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.

Need for Tweed Dog Sweater Reviewed by Lisa on 2008-06-20 ***
I liked the look of this sweater and it knit up very quickly. My main problem was trying to figure out where to leave the openings for the front legs. The pattern just tells you to sew the under piece to the top and leave openings for the legs. Since I was making this for my sister's dog and didn't have the dog there for the fitting, I had no idea where to leave the openings or how big they should be.
