Knitting Gauge
To check gauge, cast on 30 to 40 stitches using recommended needle
size. Work in pattern stitch until piece measures at least 4" (10 cm)
from cast-on edge. Remove swatch from needles or bind of loosely and
lay swatch on flat surface. Place a ruler over swatch and count number
of stitches across and number of rows down (including factions of
stitches and rows) in 4" (10 cm). Repeat two or three times on
different areas of swatch to confirm measurements. If you have more
stitches and rows than called for in instructions, use larger needles;
if you have fewer, use smaller needles. Repeat until gauge is correct.
