Boatneck Raglan Pullover

Lion Brand® Lion® Organic Cotton

GAUGE:

19 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) on straight 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.
