TENSIONIt is important to check your tension before commencing the garment. Tension 14 sts and 20 rows to 10cm 4ins over st st on 6½mm needles. If there are too many stitches to 10cm, then your tension is tight and you will need to change your needle to a larger size. If there are too few stitches to 10cm, then your tension is loose and you will need to change your needle to a smaller size.
