No. 1. TENSION
This paragraph is most important—read it carefully before commencing your garment.
You have obtained the correct SIRDAR WOOL, you have obtained the correct Needles, but to OBTAIN THE CORRECT MEASUREMENTS it is essential that you work to the tension stated. The one-inch rule at the side of this page indicates the number of stitches to the inch and is for your guidance. PLEASE USE IT. We suggest you work a small sample in this stitch before commencing the garment, then place the one-inch rule across it and see if your tension corresponds. If you are unable to obtain the correct tension proceed as follows: If you have less stitches than the number stated use a finer needle. If you have more stitches than the number stated use a coarser needle.
THE TENSION FOR THIS GARMENT IS 11 1/2 stitches to two inches.
