KNITTING TENSION:

26 stitches in width and 27 rows in height, with A.1/A.4 and 1 strand of each quality on needle size 3.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm.
3 repeats of A.1/A.4 (24 stitches) = approx. 9 cm in width.
NOTE: Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches within 10 cm, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches within 10 cm, change to a smaller needle size.
