You will also need:

3 buttons

Tension
To ensure your knitting has the same measurements as the
pattern, it is a good idea to make a tension swatch before
you start knitting your project. A tension swatch is a small
sample of your knitting where you count the stitches and
rows and check them against the measurements (cm/in)
given in the pattern. If you get MORE stitches/rows than the
pattern 's tension, it means your knitting is tighter. If you get
FEWER stitches/rows than the pattern, your knitting is looser. ,
Sometimes, it works to knit tighter or looser to compensate.
