Conversion Chart For Needle Sizes
Needle sizes given in the patterns are recommended as starting points for you to make your gauge (tension) samples before you begin to knit the garment. If you can't obtain the given gauge (tension), try a different needle size. It really is well worth going to the trouble of matching gauge (tension); care taken at this stage will prevent needless disappointment later from strangely sized garments.
