INFORMATION
INFORMATION
TENSION
Obtaining the correct tension affects both the shape
and size of a knitted sample, so any variation, however
slight, can alter the finished garment. We recommend
knitting a square in pattern and or stocking stitch
(depending on the pattern instructions) of perhaps 5 - 10
more stitches and rows than those given in the tension
note. Mark out the central 10cm square with pins. If
you have too many stitches and rows to 10cm try again
using larger needles, if you have too few stitches and
rows to 10cm try again using smaller needles. Once
you have achieved the correct tension your garment
will be knitted to the measurements indicated in the
size diagram shown in the pattern.
SIZE DIAGRAM
Included with most patterns is a size diagram. As well
as displaying measurements, the diagram indicates
how the garment is constructed, for example if the
garment has a drop shoulder, this will be reflected in
the drawing.
Sleeve head depth
CHART NOTE
Underarm measured from
end of cuffs to armhole
Chest width
Each square on a chart represents a stitch and each line of
squares a row of knitting. When working from the charts,
read odd rows from right to left and even rows from left
to right, unless otherwise stated.
KNITTING WITH COLOUR
Length measured from
side of neck to bottom edge
There are two main methods of working colour into a
knitted fabric: Intarsia and Fairisle techniques. The first
method is usually used where a colour is only required in
a particular area of a row. Whereas the fairisle technique
is suitable for a pattern which repeats across a row.
Fairisle: When two or three colours are worked
repeatedly across a row, strand the yarn not in use
loosely behind the stitches being worked. Always
spread the stitches to their correct width to keep them
elastic. It is advisable not to carry the stranded yarns
over more than three stitches at a time, but to catch
them under and over the colour you are working. The
“floating” yarns should then sit neatly at the back of
the work.
Intarsia: Wind off small balls of yarn for each section
of colour used in the pattern. Then joining in the
various colours at the appropriate point on the row,
link one colour to the next by twisting them around
each other where they meet on the wrong side to
avoid gaps. All ends should then be darned along the
colour join lines, as each motif is completed.
BLOCKING
Block out each piece of knitting by pinning out the
pieces to the correct measurements. Be careful when
working with ribbed sections as they will loose the
elasticity if over stretched. Cover with a damp white
cotton cloth and leave to dry completely.
STITCHING
When stitching the pieces together, remember to
match areas of colour and texture very carefully where
they meet. Use a seam stitch such as mattress stitch or
back stitch if preferred for all main knitting seams and
join all ribs and neckband with mattress stitch, unless
otherwise stated.
CONSTRUCTION
Having completed the pattern instructions, join left
shoulder and neckband seams as referenced under
STITCHING. Sew the top of the sleeve to the body
of the garment using the method detailed in the
pattern, referring to the appropriate guide:
Straight cast-off sleeves: Place centre of cast-off
edge of sleeve to shoulder seam. Sew top of sleeve
to body, using markers as guidelines where applicable.
Square set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast-off edge of
sleeve to shoulder seam. Set sleeve head into armhole, the
straight sides at top of sleeve to form a neat right-angle to
cast-off sts at armhole on back and front.
Shallow set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast off edge
of sleeve to shoulder seam. Match decreases at beg of
armhole shaping to decreases at top of sleeve. Sew sleeve
head into armhole, easing in shapings.
Set-in sleeves: Place centre of cast-off edge of sleeve
to shoulder seam. Set in sleeve, easing sleeve head into
armhole. Join side and sleeve seams.
Slip stitch pocket edgings and linings into place.
Sew on buttons to correspond with buttonholes. Darn
in all ends neatly, along seams where possible.

Dimensions are body measurements, not garment dimensions.
Measure yourself close to your body,
over your underwear and don’t pull
the tape measure too tight.
Chest: measure around the fullest
part of the bust/chest and across the
shoulder blades.
Waist: measure around the natural
waistline, just above the hip bone.
Hips: measure around the fullest
part of the bottom.
If you don’t want to measure
yourself, note the size of a similar
shaped garment that you own and
compare it with the sizes shown in
the pattern.
