HOW TO CHECK YOUR TENSION Before you knit these designs check your tension carefully. Take a pair of No. 8 needles and some Patons Double Quick Knitting. 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 51 sts. and 71 rows to one square inch and the knitted 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 book. If you alter the needles to obtain the correct tension in stocking stitch, corresponding alterations must be made to the needles throughout. SIZES The figures in square brackets [ ] refer to the medium and large sizes respectively.
