Hand-Knit Danbury Hooded Sweater Jacket

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Chunky

GAUGE:

14 sts + 18 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. 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:

PATTERN STITCH
K1, p1 Rib
Row 1:
K1, *p1, k1; repeat from * across the row.
Row 2: K the k sts and p the p sts across the row.

Absolutely loved this warm & cuddly sweater. Great for cold Irish weather! Did not have problem with curling.
