Tension:
It is essential to check your tension before starting your garment. If there are too many stitches to the pattern tension, it is too tight and you should change to a larger size needle. If there are too few, your tension is too loose and you should change to a smaller size needle.
You could also browse:
Alice Rose Patterns to find more pre-owned and vintage patterns. Plus a choice of 1940s/1950s patterns in PDF format.
