TENSION
It is essential to work to the stated tension to ensure success and you should
always start by knitting a tension square before knitting the full garment.

If you have too many stitches to stated tension, your tension is too tight and you
should change to a larger needle. If there are too few stitches, your tension is too
loose and you should change to a smaller needle. Please check individual patterns
for tension before starting the garment.

Instructions given are for the 1st Size, with larger sizes in brackets. Where only
one figure or instruction is given, this applies to all sizes. Work all directions inside
brackets to the number of times stated.

WORKING FROM A CHART

When working from a chart you will read all right side rows from
right to left and wrong side rows from left to right.

FINISHING
Once your garment is completed it is essential to block your knitting.
Pin your garment out to the size stated in the pattern. Cover with damp
cloths and leave until dry. See ball band for care instructions.
