UNEVEN STITCHES
COMMON GARMENT FAULT. Uneven stitches in a knitted garment are a very common fault. This is caused more often than not by putting work down when only part of a row has been worked. Remedy: Work to end of row always before layingwork aside. Another cause is loose knitting. You will soon see if you are allowing wool too much rein. Do not suddenly tug the wool when you do recognise this fault, or you will get an uneven patch. Practice on a spare piece of knitting until your tension is right, and then tackle a real job.
