Grades
It is vitally important to check the tension (gauge) before starting, since working with the wrong tension will mean that your garment does not fit the correct size and could result in
excess thread or needing more thread.
Before you begin, knit a tension swatch (gauge) of at least 5 inches, 13 cm, and measure your tension. If there are more sts and rows than indicated, try again with a thicker hook. If there are fewer sts and rows than indicated, try again with a thinner hook.
