Helpful Hints

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: Bernat® Roving

HAND WASH: Note measurements of the item before washing. Dissolve mild
detergent in lukewarm water. Place the item in the suds and squeeze gently.
Do not rub or leave to soak. Rinse twice in clean, lukewarm water. Remove excess
moisture by rolling in a thick towel.
DRYING FLAT: Do not wring, twist or hang to dry. Lay item on a flat surface away
from lights, sunlight and excessive heat. While still damp, gently push item back
to its original measurements.

GAUGE: For best results, be sure to use the yarn recommended in the pattern,
and purchase enough of one dye lot to complete your project. It is a good idea to
retain ball bands in case of inquiry. Before you begin to knit, check your gauge by
making a test swatch and adjusting your needle, if necessary, to obtain the gauge
quoted in the pattern. Inaccurate gauge results in an item too large or too small.
Even a variation of half a stitch makes an obvious difference in the finished size.

DETERMINING YOUR SIZE

Begin with your bust/chest measurement. Compare
your measurement to the ‘To fit bust measurement’ size
line in your pattern and choose the closest match.

Bust Measurement (A)

Using a tape measure, measure around the fullest part A
of your bust or chest keeping the tape measure straight
across your back.
C
Hip Measurement (B)
Measure around the fullest section which is generally B
9 to 10 inches [23 to 25.5 cm] below the waistline.

Wrist to Underarm (C)

Measure from the wrist along the inside of your arm to approximately 1 inch [2.5 cm]
from your underarm crease. This is the measurement for a set-in sleeve.
