Unless the yarn specified is used, we
cannot accept any responsibility for
the finished work. It is advisable to
purchase, at one time, the number of
balls sufficient for your requirements.
Yarn quantities are approximate as they
are based on average requirements.
Please note that the limitations of the
printing process mean that the actual

TENSION
22 stitches and 28 rows to 10 cm (4 in)
measured over stocking stitch using
4mm needles.
TENSION CHECK
It is essential to check your tension
before beginning by knitting a swatch
at least 15 cm square. If there are
MORE stitches or rows to 10 cm (4 in)
than stated, your knitting is tight and
you should try again using larger size
needles. If there are LESS stitches or
rows to 10 cm (4 in) than stated, your
knitting is loose and you should try
again using smaller size needles.
