BEFOR E YOU STA RT

Always read the pattern before knitting to get a general
understanding of the garment construction and avoid making
mistakes.

CHOOSE TH E R IGHT YA R N
Peace-sweater is designed in Dale Garn Baby Ull.
To achieve the best result we recommend using the yarn the
garment is designed for.

WATCH TH E GAUGE
To assure correct measurement and shape it is important to
obtain gauge.
We do not all knit the same way. If your gauge is looser than
the given gauge, the garment will be larger. If your gauge is
tighter, the garment will be smaller.

M A K E A GAUGE SWATCH
Make a gauge swatch to check your gauge. Count number of
stitches per 10 cm. If you have more stitches, change to larger
needles. If you have fewer stitches, change to smaller needles.
The needle size given in a pattern is merely a suggestion. Just
one size up or down can make a difference.

ABBREVIATIONS:
CO - cast on
BO = bind off
st(s) = stitch(es)
