Travelin' Man Shoe Covers

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

26 stitches = 4 inches [10 cm] in pattern stitch. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

This piece is knit in a ribbing that is 3 stitches wide.

Travelin' Man Shoe Covers Reviewed by Teresa Thomas on 2008-07-01 *****
I made these for my brother-in-law for Christmas. It was fun having him try to guess what they were. He loves them and the rest of my family wants me to make more so they can all have some!
