How to check your tension
Before you knit this design check your tension carefully.
Take a pair of No. 8 needles, cast on 11 stitches and work in stocking stitch-1 row knit; 1 row purl—for 15 rows. Cast off; press lightly on wrong side.
The tension should be 11 sts. and 15 rows over 2 inches and the finished square should measure 2 inches each way.
If the square is bigger your work is too loose; try a size finer needle. If it is smaller your work is too tight; try a size coarser needle.
If you knit to the correct tension in stocking stitch, you will knit naturally to the correct tension for any stitch in this booklet.
If you alter the needles to obtain the correct tension in stocking stitch, corresponding alterations must be made to the needles throughout.
