Tension: 74 sts. and 10 rows equal one inch (St. St. on No. 10 needles). N.B. The tension of the knitting controls the size of the finished garment. Before commencing, cast on 15 sts. and work in st. st. for 20 rows. If your sample has less sts. per inch than our tension, try again with smaller needles, and vice versa, then work the garment on the needles which produce our tension.
Thumb method of casting on: 2 yards from the end, twist the wool round the left thumb to make a loop, and knit this loop on to the needle from the ball of wool. Repeat till required number of sts. are on needle, making the loop from the 2 yards and knitting from the ball. This method of casting on should always be used.
