Before beginning, knit a tension (gauge) swatch at least 12 cm, 5 in, square and measure your tension (gauge). If there are more sts and rows than stated, try again using thicker needles. If there are fewer sts and rows than stated, try again using thinner needles. GOOD TO KNOW l Paintbox Yarns cannot accept responsibility for the finished item if any yarn other than the recommended yarn is used. l Yarn quantities are based on average requirements and are therefore approximate. l Colour reproduction is as close as printing processes will allow. l Instructions are written using UK terminology with changes for US terminology given in italics in round brackets ( ) afterwards. l Repeat figures in round brackets ( ) the number of times stated afterwards. ABBREVIATIONS cm = centimetres; g st = garter stitch (K every row); in = inches; K = knit; rs = right side; st(s) = stitch(es); ws = wrong side.
