GAUGE Correct gauge is essential for proper fit. Needle sizes given in instructions are merely guides and should never be used without first making a sample swatch approximately 4” square in the stitch, yarn, and needle specified. Then measure it, counting your stitches and rows carefully. If you have more stitches per inch than specified, try again with a larger size needle; if fewer, try again with a smaller size. Keep trying until you find the size that will give you the specified gauge. DO NOT HESITATE TO CHANGE NEEDLE SIZE TO OBTAIN CORRECT GAUGE. Once proper gauge is obtained, measure width of garment approximately every 3” to be sure gauge remains consistent.

PICKING UP STITCHES When instructed to pick up stitches, insert the needle under two strands at the edge of the worked piece (Figs. 3a & b). Put the yarn around the needle and pull it through, making a stitch on the needle. Repeat along the edge, picking up the required number of stitches. A crochet hook may be helpful to pull yarn through. Fig. 3a
