The term “STITCH GAUGE” is the most important part of all knitting directions, since the sizing of any knitted garment is planned on this gauge. You MUST work to the gauge which is given or your finished work will not be the size indicated in the directions.
K 1 row, P 1 row alternately when working on straight needles. When working round and round on a circular needle or double point needles, knit every round.
On the first row work in the ribbing pattern given. On all other rows, K over the K sts and P over the P sts.
Whenever the directions specify a sl st, always insert the right hand needle in the st to be slipped as if to P, unless otherwise indicated.
