GAUGE
This design uses two gauges: alpine stitch for the body and sleeves, and sc blo for the ribbing. Make a swatch for both to ensure your tension is correct in each section.

Body and sleeves (alpine stitch); 7 mm hook

• 9 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)

For swatch:

• Row 1: ch 15, dc in the 3rd ch from the hook and across. (13)
• Row 2: ch 1, turn. Sc across. (13)
• Row 3: ch 2, turn. fpdc (in 1st row of dcs here and across), dc; repeat from * to * to the last 2 sts, dc 2. (13)
• Row 4: ch 1, turn. Sc across. (13)
• Row 5: ch 2, turn. dc, fpdc, repeat from * to * to the last st, dc. (13)
• Row 6: ch 1, turn. Sc across. (13)
• Repeat rows 3–6 to continue the pattern.

Your swatch is larger than the 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) gauge so you can measure only the center. Edges distort tension, and measuring the middle gives the most accurate gauge for sizing.

Ribbing (sc blo); 5 mm hook

• 13 sts x 14 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)
