Gauge
Knitting tension: 17 stitches (sts) x 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 in with a 6 mm needle US 10ashing and blocking)
Knitting sample
I recommend that you knit a swatch. Knit a 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 in square in stocking stitch with recommended yarn and needles, wash the sample as you would wash the finished sweater. Then measure the gauge when the sample is dry. Count the number of stitches at the 10 cm x 10 cm 4 x 4 in swatch, which should correspond to the number of stitches x rows given under knitting gauge. A stitch or two too much or too little per 10 cm 4 in may give a completely different size than intended.
