Theodora Sweater

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Baby

GAUGE:

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

Theodora Sweater Reviewed by Karen LaCotte on 2008-10-07 ****
I enjoyed knitting this sweet little sweater as well but had to make 2 for our identical twin granddaughters. I made them not quite identical, but close . . . to accommodate their different personalities. I loved the soft colors shown in the pattern, but could not find the light pink which I would have preferred. Used pink poodle, aqua and mint instead. Can't wait to see them on! Will use this pattern again.
