  139. Bridgit said

    Making your very cute owl sweater in size small adult. Have finished the increases (24 stitches) and I am short 2 stitches. All the other sizes increased by 24 and the number of stitches for those is correct. Wondering if the 112 was a error and should be 110. I am now supposed to decrease for size small 2 more stitches which will bring me to 108. Is this correct. I love the sweater!! Thank you for your help.

    QUESTION:
    So,for the proper gauge, should i be making the swatch with the 6mm or 6.5mm needle?

    i did it with the 6.5mm needle and I got 14stiches per 4″, not 13…
