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 mea-
sures 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.
