GAUGE:

11 sts + 9½ rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Griddle stitch. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Matinee Jacket Reviewed by Kim Bayer on 2009-06-12 *****
This pattern was easy for this intermediate level crocheter. I made it in the deep purple eggplant color and it turned out quite lush in the suede texture. I also left off the collar and it looks just as good.
