Gauge
17 st and 24 rows = 4” x 4” on 3 US/3.25mm
Knitters using smoother yarns than the suggested yarn may need to increase needle size to get gauge, as it will glide more easily and often result in more tightening after each stitch. Wash and block before checking gauge swatch, as plant fiber blends can be unpredictable to those more accustomed to wool—expect a loosening of the fabric horizontally over time.
