Leave the swatch for several hours so that it can relax,
then stretch it as much as if it is worn, then pin it down .
Hold a steam iron close to the swatch and distribute its
steam evenly over the swatch .
Allow
the swatch to dry, take a tension gauge over it as
it is pinned down.
Measure the number of stitches and rows using Gauge Scale
between yarn marks.
When knitting a garment based on the tension gauge taken
in the foregoing procedure, arrange needles for the width
of the total number of needles, including non-working
needles.
Example : If 60 stitches are counted in the tension gauge
for the swatch of K1. P1. rib, arrange needles
for 1 x 1 within the total of 60 needles .
