Plain rows go before, after and between lines of text. Use 0 if your pattern already has garter rows there.

Gauge

Stitches are wider than rows are tall, so letters need extra rows to look right. Matching your gauge gives some pixels 1 row and some 2. Pick a fixed number for even strokes. The starting numbers come from the purple swatch on size 8 needles.
