About Metric
Throughout this book, you’ll notice that every measurement is accompanied by a metric equivalent. Inches and feet are rounded off to the nearest half or whole centimeter unless precision is necessary (note that some larger measurements are rounded off to the nearest meter). Please be aware that while this book will show 1 yard = 100 centimeters, the actual conversion is 1 yard = 90 centimeters, a difference of about 315/16" (10cm). Using these conversions, you will always have a little bit of extra yarn if measuring using the metric system.
