Tension gauge sample

Make sure to check your tension by creating a gauge swatch before starting your knit. Gauge: 10 stitches and 9 rows with double strand of Wild alpaca in height with stockinette with 10 mm needles for a 10 x 10 cm swatch. Brush the sample with, wash and block. Everyone’s tension is different, so if your tension is too tight and your gauge swatch measures too little, change to a thicker needle. If your tension is too loose and your gauge swatch is too wide, change to a thinner needle.

Good to know

The vest is knitted with a double strand of Wild alpaca, back and forth from bottom and up. The vest is divided into the back, right and left panels and connected by the shoulders again. When the vest is finished, it is brushed with the care brush in order to get the hairs out for a furry look. The i-cord edge is knitted afterwards, and the laces to tie the vest in front. The pockets are knitted separately and then sewn onto the vest.
