Because everyone’s tension is unique, it is highly recommended to start with the suggested needle sizes listed below and adjust up or down as needed. Note that stitch gauge is more important than round gauge for this design. Measuring ribbing can be tricky, so focus on getting as close as possible to the target numbers—the natural stretch of the ribbed fabric will easily take care of the rest!\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e26 sts, 41 rounds = 4” \/ 10 cm in 1x1 Rib worked in the round on US Size 4 (3.5 mm) knitting needle moderately stretched.
