Every effort has been made to ensure that these instructions are accurate and complete, however we cannot be responsible for variations in individual work, human error,
typographical mistakes or if the specified weight of yarn recommended for this pattern has not been used. It is very important that you complete a tension square/gauge swatch
with your selected yarn and needles. If you have more stitches and rows to 10 cm (4 in) change to larger needles, if there are less stitches and rows to 10 cm (4 in) change to
smaller needles. Yarn amounts are approximate only, as there are so many variations added to the equation, that yarn predictions can’t ever be 100% accurate.
