GAUGE:

16 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Hooded Sweater Reviewed by Karen Mayo on 2008-08-30
By far, the most pleasant sweater I've ever knit! The overlapping section of the hood went together so smoothly...it looked quite professional!
