GAUGE

Take time to save time! Spend 10 minutes making your sample


ahead of time, to prevent having to adjust your pattern after you’ve
already begun, which can take hours or days to change, especially if
you have to start over completely.

The tension sample is the tension recommended for your project. It


is very important to make a tension sample in a 10x10 cm (4”x4”)
area, where you can count the number of rows and stitches that fit in
order to ensure that your tension is correct for the project. With this
method, your measurements will correspond with the specifications
in the schematic.

If your sample is smaller than recommended, try to knit more


loosely. If your sample is larger than recommended, try to knit more
tightly.

Ultimately, knitting is an art, not a science and you aren’t a


machine; so it’s normal to have a small variation of 1-3 cm in the
end.

HOW TO FINISH AND JOIN YOUR PROJECT

Now we are going to shape the neck. To do so:

1. Thread the tapestry needle with the same


yarn that you used for your project and sew
one of the shoulders. To do this, place the front
and back right side down lining up the shoulder
seams. Sew 22 [25, 26, 30] stitches from one
of the shoulders, make a knot and put down the
tapestry needle for now.

21
2. Using the wooden needles pick up 78 [78, 3. With these stitches work 4 rows in 1x1 rib

GAUGE

Take time to save time! Spend 10 minutes making your sample


ahead of time, to prevent having to adjust your pattern after you’ve
already begun, which can take hours or days to change, especially if
you have to start over completely.

The tension sample is the tension recommended for your project. It


is very important to make a tension sample in a 10x10 cm (4”x4”)
area, where you can count the number of rows and stitches that fit in
order to ensure that your tension is correct for the project. With this
method, your measurements will correspond with the specifications
in the schematic.

If your sample is smaller than recommended, try to knit more


loosely. If your sample is larger than recommended, try to knit more
tightly.

Ultimately, knitting is an art, not a science and you aren’t a


machine; so it’s normal to have a small variation of 1-3 cm in the
end.

You can find more information about creating a tension sample in


our blog post “HOW TO MEASURE A TENSION SAMPLE” that
you will find on our web site weareknitters.com
