Tip 1: Pieces made from silk / viscose should be knitted quite short, as they will tend to stretch with wear, growing longer.
Tip 2: In the chart for pattern III, the squares marked in grey apply to
sizes 34-36 and 42-44, work them in stocking st (= RS k, WS p).
Tip 3: When decreasing and increasing, take care that yarn overs are cancelled out by sts knitted together.
