• Be sure to check your gauge! With the correct needles and yarn, knit a large swatch sample in the round and wash, block, and let dry before you measure it! If you don’t wash it first, your garment might not fit you after you wash it for the first time. If your gauge doesn’t match that above, change needle sizes to obtain correct gauge (larger sizes will reduce the number of sts & rows in a measurement, smaller sizes will increase the number of sts & rows in a measurement). Remake your swatch if you change needle sizes and check again!
