When you embark on your journey to create this stunning sweater, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches × 30 rounds = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette when using larger needles and after blocking. This ensures your finished garment has the perfect fit and drape, making your knitting project not only enjoyable but also a rewarding experience.
Perfect for knitters seeking a blend of style and comfort, the Guilty Pleasure pattern is sure to become a staple in your knitting repertoire. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting, this design promises to delight and inspire creativity in every stitch.
