GAUGE
22 stitches and 46 rows (23 ridges) = 4 inches in garter stitch

NOTE: Because this garment is worked sideways, you must match row gauge as well as stitch gauge in order to achieve the intended measurements. For best results, dry your swatch hanging along a selvage (rather than flat). This recreates how you will wear the sweater and will give you a more accurate gauge.
