Easy Playtime Set

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®

GAUGE:

15 sts = 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 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.

I made this for my one year old grandson for Christmas. I put baseball buttons on the sweater and it turned out grad. I too did a single crochet to put a finished look on the sweater.
