knitting tension
Knitting tension is how many stitches you should have on 10 cm in width, and how many rows on 10 cm in height. You should follow the tension provided in the pattern in order to achieve the measurements provided in the size chart. Knitting tension can be adjusted by changing the size of your knitting needles. Larger needles will give less stitches x 10 cm and smaller needles more.
