(The needle size is only a guideline. If you get a gauge with more than the provided stitches you should switch to a bigger needle size. If you get a gauge with less than the provided stitches you should switch to a smaller needle size. You should make a swatch to check the gauge before starting to knit the garment, as everyone knits differently, and if you choose an alternative yarn it might behave differently).
