This pattern is made for machine knitters. The model has been made with the LK150 SILVER REED knitting machine. If you are using another machine, you can probably still use this pattern, but you might have to use another tension to get a similar gauge (you might even need to knit on every other needles to achieve the same result if you are using a fine gauge machine). Please do a test knitting swatch to find the correct tension for your machine.
