Knitting gauge

The vest has a gauge of 10x10 cm on 19 sts x 27 rows on 3,5 mm needles in a double broken rib stitch (k on the front side and k 2, p 2 on the back side).

Remember to make a gauge swatch before you start knitting to find the right needle size to achieve the gauge. Remember to also wash and block your swatch before you measure your gauge, as the double broken rib stitch widens after a wash.
