TENSION (GAUGE)
14 stitches and 18 rows to 10 cm, 4 in, measured over stocking
(stockinette) stitch using 7mm (UK 2– US 10¾) needles, or
size required to give correct tension (gauge).
It is vitally important to check your tension (gauge) before
starting as working to the wrong tension (gauge) will mean
your garment will not be the size shown and could result
in yarn being left over, or more yarn being required. Before
beginning, knit a tension (gauge) swatch at least 13 cm, 5 in,
square and measure your tension (gauge). If there are more
stitches and rows than stated, try again using thicker needles.
If there are fewer stitches and rows than stated, try again
using thinner needles.
