Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have the correct size needles for the recommended Little Lamb DK gauge, typically ranging between 3.25mm and 4.0mm depending on your personal tension. Before starting, it is highly recommended to knit a tension square to verify your stitch count per 10cm. Regarding garment care, because the patterns are intended for infants, ensure your final choice of yarn is machine washable or easy to hand wash. Always block your finished pieces according to the measurements provided in the pattern to ensure the chest dimensions align with the intended size range.
