TENSION
20 sts and 26 rows to 10cm over st st using
4.5mm needle.
Use larger or smaller needles if necessary
to obtain correct tension.
TIPS
To work out how to decrease evenly, count
the total number of sts to be decreased
over (eg 24) and divide by the number of
decreases to be made (eg 8) = 3.
In this example, decrease by knitting
together each 2nd and 3rd stitch.
