Conversions

Today I had a comment on my Rosy Cotton Top from Sal, who wished that I had the measurements in American standard as well as metric. So here are the conversions are as they appear in my book.

Metric / Imperial Measurements

Length

100 centimetres (cm) = 1 meter (m)

36 inches (“) = 1 yard (yd)

To convert:

Centimetres to inches – multiply by 0.3937

Inches to centimetres – multiply by 2.54

Metres to yards – multiply by 1.0936

Yards to metres – multiply by 0.9144

Weight

1 gram (g) = 0.0353 ounces (oz)

50 grams = 1¾ ounces

100 grams = 3½ onces

1 ounce (oz) = 28.35 grams (g)

4 ounces = 114 grams

I've also added a universal converter to my blog - find it in the right hand column.

Thank you Sal for your comment, I'm sure these will be of help to everyone.

Happy Knitting!
