MEASUREMENTS To fit 34-36 inch bust. Length from top of shoulder, 22i ins. Sleeve seam, 17i ins. These instructions apply to the above measurements only; adaptations to other sizes are not available.

ABBREVIATIONS K.=knit; P. =purl; St. = stitch ; tog.= together ; inc.=increase by working into front and back of st; dec.= decrease by working 2 sts. together; beg.= beginning; alt.= alternate; rep. =repeat; patt.= pattern ; incl.=inclusive; ins.=inches.

TENSION Before you knit this design check your tension carefully. Take a pair of No. 8 needles and some Patons Double Quick Knitting, or Patons Moorland Double 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 5-i stitches and 7i 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. N. 96 P&B PAGE
