A Note on Gauge
To ensure a perfect fit this pattern is structured by gauge (seven gauge ranges 12 - 24 (in stitches per 4” / 10 cm). . It is highly recommended to knit a swatch in Garter Stitch, wash, and block it to accurately measure your gauge and choose the correct version of the pattern for your project. (See additional note on Page 3 regarding Garter stitch adjustment).
