Shell-Stitch Tunic
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
GAUGE: 1 pat rep = 2¾ in.; 5 rows = 1 in. on size 10 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 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.
