Gauge:

This combination of pattern and yarn grows lengthwise (stitch gauge) and shrinks widthwise (row gauge) with blocking and wear. For most accurate results, knit a large swatch, block, then hang it up sideways, so the rows are on the verti- cal, with weight on the bottom edge (try pinning it to the wall with binder clips for weights) and measure the gauge with the fabric hanging.
