TENSION:

8 stitches to one inch in width (not stretched), measured over plain, smooth fabric must be obtained to give a garment of above mentioned size. Whatever size of needles found suitable by the knitter, it is absoutley essential that fabric should measure 8 stitches to one inch.

 

The original yarn may not be available due to the age of the pattern. Select the yarn type that is closest to the weight of the original yarn.

 

When reworking the pattern it is best to knit a tension swatch with your chosen yarn. To get the correct measurements, your tension must be the same as stated in the pattern.
