Matching smooth yarn for sewing, if desired
Gauge: 9 1/2 sts = 5 in. (12.5 cm) + 10 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. 12 sts = about 5 in. (12.5 cm) in Center Cable pattern. 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 match the gauge, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Notes
1. Pullover is worked in 4 pieces: Back, Front and 2 Sleeves.
2. When you see 'as established' in the instructions, this means to continue in the current pattern st.
