Nb) Your knitting tension may be different when working a stranded knitting pattern. It is therefore recommended to work a swatch so you can switch to a larger needle or smaller needle (typically +/- 0.5mm or +1/- mm) if required to maintain the pattern gauge. I personally go up +0.5mm when working with more than one colour.
